Not sure if this belongs here or in the video forum, but whatever.
Anyone know of a benchmark comparing the video between the two? I'm trying to throw a quote together for a system (around 2.5ghz), and I'd like to stick w/ onboard video, and preferably be able to play games like BF1942, though of course, not at high details with onboard video. Just enough to play around a little.

The UniChrome is a great multimedia IGP but it's not for gaming. The G4MX IGP is still the king of IGPs for sktA, and if the limited head-to-head results between it and the ATI 9100 IGP are any indication then it's still the king of all IGPs overall. I have scored 6000 in 3DMOck2k1se using the G4MX IGP and another member of the nForcersHQ team scored 6500 :Q More importantly I've played BF1942 on it@8x6x32 just fine.

KM400 = great Mpeg2 playback as it has a decoder built in

nForce2IGP = no mpeg2 decoder, BUT way better for games, esp. if you use the Dual ch. memory.

KM400 has the "S3 UniChrome" graphics engine. It isn't very fast at all in 3D, but has very decent 2D and media functions.
