Integrated vs. Dedicated graphics card

With integrated graphics (ie. no separate graphics card), the system has to dedicate some of its memory to graphics generation. Dedicated graphics cards have their own memory to drive the graphics, leaving the system memory to handle the computation.

Dedicated graphics cards are superior in almost every aspect. They are a must for any REAL gaming. They take much of the graphics work off the CPU, leaving the CPU to do other things.Integrated graphics are fine for pretty much everything but gaming and software such as Motion. They cost less and usually generate less heat. All graphics work is done on the CPU, possibly taking away valuable cycles from the processor.
