Praetor Administrator Staff member Dec 27, 2004 #2 "Overall" is a pretty general thing and the answer could be yes or no although effectively the answer would be yes.

SlothX311 New Member Dec 27, 2004 #3 depending on the chipset, ammount of ram, and port that you are using, yes
Cromewell Administrator Staff member Dec 27, 2004 #4 and port that you are using Click to expand... port? even a basic pci card will increase performance over integrated 'AGP'

Praetor Administrator Staff member Dec 27, 2004 #5 port? even a basic pci card will increase performance over integrated 'AGP' Click to expand... You know i can argue that one (of course they are very specific examples )

Cromewell Administrator Staff member Dec 27, 2004 #6 of course they are very specific examples Click to expand... like 'intel extreme graphics 1' vs pci geforce2mx200. sure the 915G pnboard graphics is better than some pci cards, even the somewhat new 865 integrated graphics probably isn't enough to beat something like a pci gf5200
