I have onboard graphics. I don't game on the PC. Will my onboard graphics (AMD 740G/SB700, Integrated ATI Radeon 2100 graphics) Be cabable of running a 22" TFT on a DVI connection efficiently? Thanks

This is mobo i have: GA-MA74GM-S2

If not, should i go for a different mobo with better onboard graphics? I don't want to buy a graphics card.

What makes you think it might not handle a 22"?

Don't know. Just curios. It will be fine?

I imagine it should handle desktop use perfectly fine. Shouldn't be any slowdown when scrolling or moving windows around.

Is it then best to enable 512mb of shared memory to the onboard graphics if using a 22" TFT?

Depends if it'll use that much memory. I suspect you'll have no problems running a 22" on it but let us know if you do.

it will be perfectly fine for office/web browsing.
just take a look at computers in an office....mostly they have onboard graphics and there isnt a problem.

Ok, great. I know with my onboard graphics i am able to set it to use 512mb. Currently at 256mb. Should have new 22" TFT this week. Shall i up it to 512mb?

Also, i currently have 2gig of DDR2 PC26400 Ram. Should i up it to 4gig? (I use Vista 64bit) Does that help with Graphics?
