Re: Under Quake III Arena we're able to see the largest lead the P4X333 (with an expensive Ti4600 Nvidia graphics board)ever holds over the 845G You do realize that this was a test comparing chipsets, and that all of the boards, including the 845G, were tested with the GeForce4 Ti 4600. It's fair to say that the 845G doesn't slow down a graphics adapter - much - but the test you're referring to didn't test the integrated graphics of the 845G, only its ability to run with a GeForce4 Ti 4600. From the text it sounds like they did a few tests using the 845G's integrated video, but the results were so poor there was no point in including them. You seem to have missed this part of the last page: As far as integrated graphics go, the 845G is a bit of a disappointment. While it's sufficient for the corporate and low-end consumer markets it's difficult to say whether Intel's new 845G will be enough to power future Microsoft OSes that make extensive use of DirectX in their UI (e.g. Longhorn). For now, Intel is doing only the bare minimum to keep their feet in the graphics pool but there will come a time where Intel will either have to get with the game or get out. There is only one decent integrated graphics solution available in the market at this time, and that's NVida's chipset for Athlon.
