just curious, you do mean PCIe right? as straight pci cards are ancient and not exactly suitable for gaming.

What I've read online is that it's an ok integrated chip. The main thing to think about when it comes to display chips...whether it be integrated or on a card, is what you will use your computer for. Keep in mind that your integrated chip will rely on your 1gb memory instead of the PCIe card having ram on the card itself.
