The performance gains with GEM by adding the AGP card will be substantial. Anything currently offered by Nvidia or ATI will improve over the Intel built-in.

Ken didn't said which chip is built in, there are Shuttles with Nvidia graphics onboard so the gain might be not so much.

ya its an nvidia graphics controller: The Crush18G IGP Host Controller integrates a high performance and high quality 3D/2D Graphical Accelerator.

i don't understand if doing graphics is hitting the cpu or not, ot if having an agp card will alleviate that. i am also synthesising sound too. thanks all.
