I am getting this MB for the inlaws as they only want it for internet and MS apps. But what is the strength of the onboard graphics? What does it compare to with modern graphics cards as they have a young son and he might want to play some simple little games, nothing challenging.

Thanks

Obviously there not brillianty and wont do COD4 or Crysis, but should be ok for older games like Call of Duty 1 but you could always chuck in a cheap PCI-E card such as a 7600GT / 8600GT

It will prob be shared so will take probably about 128mb of system ram.

It will struggle with most games made in the last 3-5 years.
