Weirdy Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 if I were you I'd do some research on the mobo instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Intel cards usually blow, one of my computers has a Intel 64MB Something or other, and its alright i guess, barely barelyyyy plays ut2k4 on all the way low. Also make sure to go into your BIOS settings and adjust the amount of extra memory the graphics chip has, the default is like 1MB which is stupid, just throw it up as high as it can go (i think its like 8MB, because its extra memory it takes from your RAM) and that helps ALOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Never go for an integrated graphics card, epecially something made by Intel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 never go for integrated anything at all, even sound card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 The integrated Nvidia Soundstorms were very good. However, integrated graphics is a big no for gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Nvidia's onboard sounds are some of, if not THE best you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 uhhhh i wouldnt go that far, they arent bad though, but most people dont get that when they buy integrated stuff, they get some SoundMAX card or something (which i think is intel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prithwin Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 onboard stuff is no good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 yeah, thats the basic rule of thumb Ive noticed with mobos that have like everything onboard (aka emachines) one thing will eventually crap out (like your sound card) and then it seems to start a chain reaction and eventually everything is blown out eww....dont but an emachine anyway you dolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 They usually get some cheap crap like a RealTEK or one of them useless ones. I really like nVidia's onboard sounds. Only beef is that they use more ram and cpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
