Integrated graphics do have a place on the desktop. The question is where? Motherboards equipped with integrated graphics solutions have been shunned due to poor 3D performance. That changed. Gigabyte was a top tier motherboard manufacturer that was quick to capitalize on this with the GA-8TRS300M and now hopes to continue with the
GA-8TRS350MT featuring ATI's PRO version of the 9100IGP.
At the beginning of 2004 ATI introduced their RS300 core as part of the 9100 IGP (Integrated Graphics Processor) for the desktop and left Intel's IGP (Extreme Graphics) in the dust. INTEL bounced back with the 865 IGP solution and now ATI responds with their RS350 update for the 9100 PRO IGP.
The reason to purchase an Integrated Graphics Processor equipped motherboard lies in two main areas; cost and application.
