The integrated graphics chip is crap anyway - shared memory :(. BTW I don't like these el-cheapo boards with low-end chipsets very much - had one with some pretty dated VIA chipset, and the performance wasn't very good; I replaced the board with an Asus P3B-F (i440BX), and the performance problems were gone (along with some other strange phenomena). If your new computer should be a notebook, your problem can't be solved, though :(.
