I'm getting a computer and it comes with a, integrated intel exteme graphics card. Can this support HL with GOOD grapghics? Help, I need info on it in the next few hours. Thnks

(A great deal could go out the window )

Um, I have no idea: any details?

You can always stick in a decent (normal) graphics card? Check motherboard details/post the link here if it's a webstore.

i believe intel extreme at 128mb. Is that what it is do you know?

I Looked at it and it seems ok. its for a dell 2400 computer. umm,

THe one I have to get is the first one in the collums. It made me copy the others too. The ones on the far left are the ones of it.


THnks and please hurry!

sry about the last post, the one im worried abot is the one whos info shows up right next to the catagory.

intergrated gfx are worse than a card plugged into the AGP or PCI slots.. that's all i know.

Its too late.

I'm done for, but thnks anyway.

just coz integrated arent as good as plugins doent mean "your done for". most games dont need that high a gfx card anyway

I wouldn't worry about it; specs weren't that good.

Did no one notice when I held a speech about integrated graphics earlier this year. Or was it last year. Anyway:
Integrated graphic cards uses the PC system memory for storage of textures. Therefor it will use up far more RAM that could have gone to other processes such as AI. System memory is also not optmized for graphic storage. The RAM on a graphics card is and is so much faster. Integrated cards also has a limited set of functions compared to the original card. And it has no extra Fan which would cool of the graphic processor and make it faster.

Good sound advice

Get a mid-range card form the internet... mid-range is all you need to get good gfx in half-life, remember, its 5 years old...

a good gfx card should only cost arround E50

I still use my beloved SB live. It rules.

you said E50, I'm in america and use $.

I said 2032kr f?r jag ?r i norge.

I've got a Radeon 9800 XT 256mb!

60$...ok? God, dont you watch the financial news every day?
