    I don't think the Intel integrated graphics are any good for gaming. Maybe basic, non-3D games (so no Half Life 2, no Doom 3).

    Integrated graphics will only ever get you so far.

    I survived on Intel's Integrated 8245G chips and managed to play The Sims/Sid Miers Pirates(after alittle tweaking with a third-party graphics emulation software) but Fifa 2005 not quite so well although my laptop now which has a Nvidia Go 6600 shows the difference completely.

    Not quite sure where you're located, but the UK they're quite expensive reaching £1200 and not at all worth it with integrated cards considering I bought mine for £1100 from Evesham and got alot more.
