    Does anyone know how well the integrated graphics of the Asus Z71A compare with the graphics from an Asus M6000Ne ATI Radeon 9700? Thanks!

    It will do fine for basic gaming, DVD office, photoswork etc, but will struggle with highend 3D games like HL2 and Doom3. These if at all will only be playable only at lowest setting. If gaming is of a concern the the 9700 is the way to go. The i915 gpu is about equal to a ATI 9200 gpu, which is quite abit behind the 9700 despite how close the numbers are.
    There are plenty of reivews out there on both the 9700 and the desktop version of the 915 platform. Also the recent V6V review at toms might be worth a read as well.
