It wasn't back when I used it, before switching to my 1st GeForce card.
In fact, it was one of the reasons I decided to build a new machine with a discrete card.
And my point was that I get the performance I do and am able to do as much simultaneously because so much can be offloaded to the GPU.
And even that's not enough for when I really go overboard.
I decided to check to see if it would support my programs. It didn't take long to hit a roadblock.

Hardware acceleration Graphics hardware acceleration with DirectX10 graphics card
According to http://www.intel.com/products/... , there's no Directx10 support from this board.
Er, no. The less that can be passed to the video card, the more for the CPU to do.
Maybe in 2008, 2009 the GMA might have been enough but not today when browsers expect to be able to GPU-offload.
And it was never all that well supported under Linux from what I remember which is one reason I moved to Nvidia - yes, binary-blobs but i was getting tired of lame graphics.
Not on this desktop of mine, it won't.
The Chrome GPU process is at 512M; Flash at 2.5G and I'm at 93% RAM usage - I typically run out of RAM several times daily but refuse to pay the current cost to upgrade to 32GB
Did you read jedididah's comment above mine?
I did specifically ask what he considers "normal day to day use".
What I specified is the case for 80% of the 10,000 users that my organisation supports. And even so, there are fewer than 500 that have anything beyond a stock, onboard Intel graphics card.
At home, I have a 9600GT but it's only now after perhaps 4 years that I think it's becoming the bottleneck in my main system despite 2 CPU & RAM upgrades in that time.
Probably not on Windows 7 and not with very recent versions of Office, FF, Chrome and Internet sites.
What do you consider "normal day to day use"?
In my experience, starting with Sandy Bridge & HD3000, it's been acceptable for Windows office desktop stuff, Office apps, web browsing, online streaming, etc.
"RHEL has had to become a lot more flexible because of things like containers and Docker," Denise Dumas, senior director of Platform Engineering at Red Hat said.-
Supercharging is NOT free now - you have to buy the 85 kWh model to get it or pay ~$2500 as an option on the 60 kWh models.
As for what will happen when EVs are more prevalent, I suspect that battery swap will become an option and that is something that the Model S is capable of today.
"We have a huge backlog of people that are interested in running Docker, so we're set up to deliver services ourselves and in conjunction with network integrators," Docker CEO Ben Golub said.
Surprisingly, Tesla appears to be somewhat conservative with their 0-60 times. They claim 4.4s for the P85+ but Motor Trend tested it at 3.9s.
The Roadster is still slightly quicker but it won't leave the P85+ in the dust and that's an impressive time for a 5,000 lb sport sedan
Yes, I did.
What's wrong with asking for the opinion of others who may have more insight?
Trolled by whom exactly??
See below for the comment you likely intended to make before you had a Tourette's spasm
That should be Slashdotters, as in plural, sorry.
