Thats taking it a bit far - most MB's have onboard video, even those with dual PCI-E slots for SLI video.... but the point about the power requirements of the added card is valid. I recently shopped for a new machine and noticed a lot with empty PCI-E or AGP slots that did not have enough power supply to add even a mid range card.
