[...] do some proper comparisons whereby you compare

If you can find just ONE case where the onboard video outperforms
its peripheral counterpart, I will buy you that motherboard.

I just found out why I keep ten years of computer magazines in the
attic. Personal Computer Magazine (Dutch), February 2006, pp. 52-55.
Comparing several add-on graphics adapters to (among others) the
GA-K8N51GMF-9 and GA-K8N51PVMT9 motherboards from Gigabyte, with
nVidia GeForce 6100 and 6150 chipsets onboard, respectively, and
the MSI 945GM2-FI with Intel 945G integrated video.

The competition are GeForce 6200 variants and an ATI X300.

Predictably, a GeForce 6200 is faster than a GeForce 6150. But not
that much; they recommend against spending your money on it.

It is also faster than the 945G video. By all of 1.6%.

So you won't have to buy me a new motherboard, which is fine by me.
That was never the point. The point was that you said "a crap PCI-E
card will still outperform even the best onboard video".

PCM were comparing _budget_ cards to the best onboard video, and
they were barely winning. _Crap_ cards would lose.
