Embedded Graphics Accelerator?

PC-Chips M935EL:

"Embedded 256-bit 3D Graphics Accelerator with 64MB frame buffer"

I am trying to build a gaming machine on a budget and the bare bones system I am looking at has this motherboard. I want to use an MSI Geforce 4 Ti4400 video card. What does embedded graphics accelerator mean, and will it have a positive or negative effect on the performance of the Ti4400?
 
The "embedded graphics accelerator" is a budget video card built into the motherboard.

Looking at PC Chips' site, the closest thing they list to a M935EL is this: http://203.161.230.38/product_img/socket_423/m935delr.html If this is the board, you should not get the barebones system. It has no AGP slot at all, so there will be no possibility of using an add-in video card instead of the built-in video. It also doesn't support the 533MHz-bus Pentium4's, only the 400MHz P4's and Celerons. A barebones that has such a cut-rate motherboard may have other compromises such as a skimpy power supply unit, too.

I'd suggest building your own system instead of looking at barebones. Lots of good choices out there. 😀
