With the large number of better performing cards out for a low enough price why you would want onboard? For a strictly basic setup on a tight budget and no gaming in mind that would serve as the bare essential. Some people granted want something there if their main card fails from OCing perhaps. But the drawback is the lack of that as well.

He said he wanted integrated because he doesn't have the money for a high-end card right now, and he wanted something to hold him over.

Im not a fan of integrated, but it does have its uses. Such as if you sell your video card and want to buy a new one, and your without one for a few days, you can just use integrated.

You make your decision on hardwares and boards alike based on what you are going to doing with them. With the right you can OC without having to spend a fortune on the latest card out. If you are not resourced to buy mid to high range hardwares you may not want to be OCing in the first place. You then have to make your decision based on practical reasons. When you OC your hardwares you place heavy stresses at times on them. You don't puh the petal to the metal when your cash tank is on "E".
