built a buget internet rig that has onboard video X1250
but I got a X300se 128mb Hyper transport or whatever rolling around, could put to good use if it's better than onboard...?

edit: x300se seems to have 128mb ram on the card, dont know if it still grabs system memory or not...

If it's a Hypermemory card, the X300 will share some system memory in addition to the memory it has on the card. I believe it only does this for applications which require a lot of video memory though.

Anyways, the X1250 is the best IGP currently available and it will outperform the X300SE. Stick with the X1250.
