Pravin, I have no clue why the reviewers of the 845G flatter it so much. For example, ocworkbench, certainly a gaming site, says, On top of that, it comes with an on board integrated video which have been rumoured to be better than a GF2 MX200 or on par with a GF2 MX400. Then they proceed to test the board without using the integrated video.

Here is the truth:

845G integrated graphics with 2.53 GHz 533FSB Northwood, 2x256M PC2700 memory (tweak3d.net review of Intel D845GBV)
- Quake 3 Arena 800x600 (HQ) FPS: 41.9
- same, 1024x768: 26.5

Asus A7N266E Nvidia NForce with Athlon XP1800+, 2x256M PC2100 memory (lostcircuits.com review, January)
- Quake 3 Arena 800x600 (HQ) FPS: 77
- same, 1024x768: 55.2
