[QUOTE="Tech Geek, post: 66240, member: 18181"] I don't think "need" is the appropriate word here. If you want the smallest/least expensive solution, then a motherboard with integrated graphics is best. Both ATi and NVidia have chipsets that will work for this but make sure you are buying a board that supports DirectX 9 Video. ATi's latest should be the best out there but there aren't a lot of boards with it yet since it's only been shipping a month or two. Also, if you go with integrated graphics, you'll be better off with 1GB of RAM since the video uses part of the system memory. It will be needed if you use some of the fancier skins or lots of plugins. [/QUOTE]
