I'm building a new system and thought I would move the parts from my old computer into a cheap SFF box and reuse my old case for the new system.

I have a GeForce3 Ti 200 video card, so I was looking at SFF boxes that supported it at AGP 4x, But looking at the specs on the SFF boxes it looks like the integrated graphics are much better than my old card anyway. Am I right in thinking this? Here are two articles that I was looking at to compare the two, I was looking at the quake areana test which looks to be the same test used.

Thanks for any insight,

Well I was looking at the jetway model mentioned in the article I referenced, but the only thing I can find out about the integrated video is that it is "Real 256 GFX",

Depends, the only integrated graphics right now that is better than a geforce 3 ti200 is the Radeon Xpress XMA200, which is only available on Athlon 64 motherboards.

That article is way old...and most likely all the SFF systems were using an unnamed AGP video card. Bad of Anandtech not to name it.

Thanks fox5, I did find an article on Tomshardware that basicly said that the integrated video on motherboards in general still arnt up to par with the cheaper cards. So I think it would be still worthwile to find a SFF box that can accomidate my old card.

Thanks Again
