Hi,
The benchmark on this page indicates that use of on-board graphics affect the CPU usage when compared to discreet graphics:

(note the compression benchmarks)
Is this true?? I'm thinking of getting a GA-MA69GM-S2H (the mATX version of the motherboard used for comparison) along with a BE-2350 for a little server/gateway for my room, and if that's the case, I'll be plugging in a 1MB/4MB PCI gfx card to maximise CPU performance. I've never encountered this kind of phenomenon before, just wanted to know the views of other more experienced peeps.
Thanks
