Re: Well, I myself like to once in a while play a little Virtual Pool, drive a few laps in Live for Speed and land a few jets in Lock On. None of these simulators need high-end hardware to be enjoyable.

Sounds like an endorsement that could work equally well for Intel's integrated graphics.

Re: For me it is more important to have a power-efficient and quiet PC

Make that a definite endorsement for Intel's integrated graphics. Many reviews have found that Intel's CPUs have the best performance at given power envelopes. For myself, I like the E7200 for it's price/performance and performance/watt, and I would have no problem pairing it with a G45 chipset without discrete graphics for an inexpensive and silent, power-efficient and decently performing PC.

Other CPUs for comparison (results are valid across reviews):

By the way, I play games, too. I just have no need to play Crisis or other resource intensive FPS games (preferring games like Spore, instead), so a G45 would work just fine for me.
