  1. Embedded.... by hostage89 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    While I like what Nvidia is doing with there Nforce chipset, I really don't like embedded components in the first place. While I can understand the need for a cheap alternative, I would rather go out and spend a few more dollars. Embedded chips just eat away at much needed CPU cycles while a separate video card would just hold its own.
