Intel gfx vs GeForce4?

[Ant001]

Can anyone tell me how the "Intel Integrated Extreme Graphics" compare to the geforce4 mx440 on the NF7-M? I would assume that the geforce4 would be better, but how much? My friend has a eMachines comp with a celeron 2.6 and 256 MB of PC2100 (I think) RAM. He wants to rip out most of the stuff and replace it with an AMD proc, but he doesn't want to spend much. Sry, I don't know more about the system.

I would definitely go for the Geforce over Intel's onboard video.

+1

Even an MX will blow IEG outta the water.

nF2 IGP and 1800+ will easily beatup on his current setup in overall system performance even with the 2100DDR holding it back, but he needs another stick to use dual channel and make the IGP perform well. I don't keep up with e-machines but if he plans on using the case he has he'll most likely need an mATX board like the MN31N or M7NCG-400, and I doubt the PSU would cut it either. He'd be best served to buy an inexpensive but solid case+PSU from Newegg to house it all.

No comparison doesn't even do Hardware acceleration. I tried playing americas army with it before. Lot's of white all over the place.

well if he is going to switch to an amd processor then he is going to have to ditch the intel motherboard as well, in which case the integrated intel graphics goes out of the picture too.
