Intel Extreme Graphics controler 2

[Darth Revan]

I had on my old desktop integrated grapichs, Intel Extreme Graphics Controler, and I now have seen Intel Extreme Graphics Controler 2. I was curious how well it preforms? I played Star Wars Jedi Academy with out a problem on my old PC. Here is an ASUS mobo with these Intel 2 graphics. Here (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-131-460&depa=1)

Integrated graphics aren't good for serious gaming of any type. If you are planning on playing newer games then don't go with onboard video. I you just want to play a few older games from time to time onboard should be fine.

I wasn't but my parents are getting a new PC and were wondering about it. They run games for little kids. Games like Backyard soccer and educational games.

I have a very old Intel Extreme Graphics in my HP machine and it handled everything I threw at it (until Half Life...). I'd say if no "extreme" gaming are going to take place, it's a viable option.

Yes kiddie games will be the best games on it. The only games my parents play are solitare and my dad plays Internet Spades. :) I'll tell them to get that.
