Sounds like the way to go - tried any games needing 3D acceleration?  I
play a lot of games with my kids - they love playing Spring RTS and
Runescape MMORPG, both of which seem to eat video cards for breakfast,
and no matter how good a machine i throw at them, it never seems to be
enough.  I'd be a bit concerned that the Intel card wouldn't have the
raw grunt to handle those sort of things.
