    hello everyone,

    I am getting a new computer and I am not one who plays computer games very often. I mainly use my computer for downloading and watching movies etc, browsing the net and using computer programs such as photoshop or burning programs etc.

    Would it be fine for me to get an integrated video card. what are the disadvantages other then the fact that I wont be able to play video games that demand alot, because I wont be playing many of those. how else will i suffer other then video games.

    With integrated graphics, you will not be able to play games at all unless they are four years old or something. Even then it's probably going to be a stretch. Also you wont be able to watch HD movies and stuff like that.

    I would recommend getting one with a 8800GS. Why not build your own computer? Or get someone to custom build it for you? That would be cheaper and better in quality and performance.
