This will bring an economical solution to the masses.. The MX440 board will surely go by the wayside now! Finally entry level p.c.'s will be able to deliver reasonable gaming experience... Great news for retailers.

The 9100 IGP is the best integrated video avilable.
But if you think it will get to Redeon9100 levels than you are wrong.
It only has 2 randering piplines (not 4) so it would be much slower then then the 9100 and even slower then the 9000.

Yea, this is what I feared. I would love to see a board which will have an IGP that games BF with reasonable FPS. However, I don't think we'll get there soon enough. After reading the first post, I knew there had to be a catch, because in my mind it seems there is always a drawback with IGP.

Hmm.. your're right. Why bother with the 9100 engine then? Oh well.. ANYTHING beats an IGP Mx440..

The performance of IGP is not a killer concern since no matter how good they are, they lag behind the discrete component video card like GForce or Radeon cards. You will always install a better and faster card anyway.

It is the convenience that matters. Cheaper, fast enough and do the job.

I think MB companies are doing the best they can to put the best onboard video they can on their MB`s, these MB`s are mostly aimed at the oem market and keeping the price of the MB down is the main concern.
