Oh wow...
If you hadn't told me that, I probably never would've figured it out.
Thank you, Maarten, for enlightening me and opening my mind to
possibilities that I never knew existed.
I'm going to have to completely change my outlook on life now that
I've been made to realize that not everybody is a gamer.


Not everybody requires better performance than everyone else.

No ***, Sherlock.
My point was simply to illustrate that some people DO require better
performance....and those people don't have to be gamers. But the best
and simplest example IS with gamers, because they're the ones that
understand far more than you do, that performance is a primary
concern, and simply cannot be found with onboard video. Period.

There are plenty of non-gamer related cases where graphics performance
is equally important. These can be anybody working in nearly any
field involving graphics/rendering/modeling, etc etc.
And in such cases, nobody will be using onboard video.


Motherboards have been made with better
integrated video[0] than I have on computers that work perfectly well,
with PCI video cards that aren't crap for the purpose they serve.

What exactly are you comparing here?
Motherboards with onboard video made in 2007...and comparing them to
PCI video cards made in 1995?
Oh my god, are you actually suggesting that the 2007 onboard video
will be better than the 1995 PCI video card?
Well ***....why didn't I think of that?

Now...whenever you're ready to come back and join us in the real
world, you can go and do some proper comparisons whereby you compare
modern motherboards with onboard video to modern video cards. If you
can find just ONE case where the onboard video outperforms its
peripheral counterpart, I will buy you that motherboard.
