Gigabyte GA-M68M-S2P

It has been years since I built my last PC; how things have changed!

I want to use a Gigabyte mobo, GA-M68M-S2P, the product description says

"Graphics Controller NVIDIA GeForce 7025 Shared Video Memory (UMA)" and "Integrated NVIDIA CineFX 3.0 graphics"

Can anyone confirm this is the same as a 'graphics card' but integrated within the motherboard?

So in building a computer for myself for basic 'office' programs (no gaming) I will not need a dedicated video card?

In anticipation, thank you.

Yes that board has on board video no you shouldn't need a graphics card for office use. However this site does not recommend gigabyte motherboards, ASUS is the top recommended board manufacturer out right now.

Gigabyte motherboards ARE good. Asus just happens to have better customer support and service.
