"Actually, the current reviews have shown Intel's integrated graphics to be on par with ATI's and nVidia's. Many are also expecting Intel to improve performance through driver upgrades to enable features that have been turned off due to late validation issues. I don't think Intel will have a problem competing in integrated graphics."
W, are you saying that some of Intel's INTEGRATED graphics is as powerful as the best of ATI and nVidia's big cards?
THAT would really be something.
For the last 10 or so years, Intel was very happy simply crating a useful floor for built in graphics, just to save the time of the customer.
