better than onboard graphics...? amazingly, a friend bought one NIB at a thrift store for $4, I told him that he'd be better off with onboard graphics and just giving the card to me, I could put it to good use if a gpu flash gets borked or something...

am I right...? or should he actually install it...?
 
I'd wager to say that modern onboard graphics is probably better, especially considering driver support - but it does make for a nice piece of vintage hardware.
 
Onboard, especially if its stuff like an nvidia 9300 built in or an ati built in that can actually game.
 
his computer is an older HP, probably from about 2000 or 2001, something like a HP Pavilion a375 with onboard graphics if it's having an older onboard chipset would make any difference...

probably not, looks like I'll have a PCI card to use if a 4850 flash ever goes south, anyway, thanks for the info guys...
 
Iirc a lot of old servers from the p2/3 era had rage pros built in for their video, So guess it wouldnt make any differance to a more modern machine, and would more then likely be slower.
