I got an Chrome9 HC™ IGP on mboard GA-VM900M. I got 2 Gigs of ram @ 800mhz/5ns and an intel celeron d @ 3ghz proc.. the problem is i have way to low fps on old games like warcraft 3 or counterstrike... why? or this is the max perfomance of this onboard vid? i got like 20 fps @ warcraft 3 and it stays @ 20 all the time.. on 1024/800 with low details... c.s1.6 works only at 640x480 with 40 fps....
 
The onboard gpu has only a .6Gpixel fill rate, older games are highly fill rate sensitive and newer games need decent shader so you need to get a new graphics card like a 4650 1gb or better. Don't get the 9600gt or 9800gt low power that don't have a 6 pin power connector.
