Just sold my old rig and my 7900GTO and I'm waiting for prices to come down on the 8800GTS 640. You would think that with ATI's new cards coming out and the 8600 release, that the price would go down on the 8800GTS 640 cards. It looks like the 8600 release is actually pushing 8800 prices up. Had to lower my OC to stock speeds as well to use the integrated video. Oh well, I guess I'll play some relaxing pinball on my 6150.
 
I played Hl2 on integrated. :p It was the radeon 200 express series. Although it was at 800x600, it wasn't half bad!
 
Sure does suck having that backup onboard video card so you can sell your old one to wait for a new one :rolleyes:



It's not like you paid good money for the onboard 6150 so stfu and quit bitching you cry baby,

ROFL!

A bit harsh, but true words - Would you rather not have the integrated and be without a computer at all? At least you can surf the net and such, mankind can survive without games for a little bit anyways :)

In fact, I take out my 7900gto during finals, and run on a 5200 pci card...the temptation is too great, i am a weak man.

Just wait until you get older and you dont have to worry about school crap. Then work gets in the way. :)
 
How about Unreal Tournament 2004? I run that on my schools computer which has onboard video, and it plays fine. Not max, or course, but about medium. And I mean, seems like a fun game, at least to me.

Yeah, my laptops GMA950 does ok with UT2004 at medium settings. It can also play a mean game of Diablo II.

I wish I had a GMA950 on my laptop instead of a x200M using single channel PC2700 system memory. Stupid S754 CPU. At least you can install dual channel DDR2-533 or better in most 945G laptops. :mad:

I've got DDR2 667MHz memory running in dual channel mode with a Core 2 Duo T7200 (2.0GHz, 4MB L2) CPU.

It's not a gaming notebook, but otherwise it kicks ass. Especially since it was free from my girlfriend.

W00t? I want a girlfriend like that...Can I borrow yours? I'll promise to give it back as soon as she gets me a nice PC. LOL:p
Just playing, but still, nice chick, definitely a keeper.

Her family is very well off, let's put it that way. She has purchased a lot more stuff than that. What I listed is what's computer related. She's probably spent $15,000 on me in the last 10 months. She also pays quite a few of my bills, leaving much of my income disposable. I even lost my job recently, and was out of work for almost a month. I didn't skip a beat or end up behind on my bills. I'm truly a lucky SOB. This much I am well aware of. Life's even better now that I just got an awesome job making $27,000 a year more than I was making at my last job.

Back on topic: Integrated video does suck, and laptops aren't generally worth a shit for gaming unless you spend close to $1,500 or so on a configuration with a decent video card in it. As far as integrated video in a desktop, well it will never happen to me because I won't buy a board that uses it.
