Integrated Graphics: DirectX 9 Gaming Performance
While we installed DirectX 9.0B with the 9100 IGP PRO and we were able to run every DX9 game in our tests, the question is whether or not you really want to do that. Splinter Cell is playable at 1024, particularly if you turn off some of the "eye-candy" features. Halo and Aquamark, on the other hand, really should be played on the RS350 chipset at 800x600 or 640X480, which greatly improves frame rate.
At least the option is there to still play DX9 games on the ATI integrated graphics - though, we would recommend the lower resolutions for the most demanding games. The Intel 865G does not allow any playable frame rates at any resolutions with DX9 games, and Halo would not even run.

To bad the 2.8 Prescott's are worthless considering how they hardly out shine their Northwood counter parts. But it's interesting to see how a Prescott tweaked mobo performed.Marsumane - Monday, May 3, 2004 - link
