Henry,

The AGP architecture allows using main memory for graphics textures and I don't believe the i740 is the only chip that allows this ability. You'll still need graphics memory for the display buffer.

The same arguments against integration on the motherboard holds for the i740 as it did for the nVidia RIVA-128 and the ATI Rage Pro. The i740 is a good graphics chip but I certainly hope it doesn't make upgrades more complicated. The i740 is not the best 3D consumer graphics chip right now.

-Bill
