Intel GMA X4500HD or ATi 128 meg HD2400 Pro

Friend's cheap Athlon 64 x2 5000+/Windows Vista computer died. Friend does not game, only uses the computer for basic photo stuff and internet. Considering upgrading her to a cheap Intel Q8300 computer with W7 upgrade that comes with integrated Intel GMA X4500HD graphics. Is there any good reason (given I will be tech support) to use the old ATI Hd2400pro card from her 2 year old computer in the new system? For games, it might be a little faster but. . .

Thanks for any advice.

Don't bother. The integrated is plenty unless she plays games

Stick with integrated graphics.
