"I run at 1600x1200. The only drawback is it's limited to 256 colors at that resolution. - Doh" ... and a 60Hz screen refresh rate, eye-killing? This is not the only one drawback. Most people do not realize that when the integrated i815 video is on, even if it does no graphics job and is just refreshing an empty Windows screen with a black DOS> window, the overall system performance drops by about 30%. Just because the UMA takes its toll on CPU-to-memory latency and bandwidth. Period. That's why it is almost impossible to find any benchmarks for native i815 systems. Therefore it is the same deceptive tactics of Intel: demo and publish benchmarks for P4 with dual-channel RAMBUS, but sell en-masse P4 with single channel SDRAM; demo and review a i815 system with GeforceXXX, but sell loads of naked i815 boxes to businesses. - Ali
