Yes I know, or I remember, but the Intel ones are not considered very 
capable, so at least the aspect of "quite capable, but never good 
enough" is left out.

I don't want to sit in the position where my APU gets me 80% of the way 
there, but not quite.

And then I still have to buy a graphics card, but now I actually have 
two.

Also I don't know about... I think that those APU motherboards also 
support non-APU, which means that if you plug something like that in, 
you won't have a GPU.

I want stuff to be independent so I have the highest amount of choice.



If you want any analogy from Japan...

There is a temple, I don't know where, that is like a tower and this 
tower is made of wood.

It was said... the temple was made of wood because the builders wanted 
it to be transient, perishable.

The tower has an architectural design that protects against strong winds 
that no one understands, it was said. Modern architects cannot reproduce 
it or why it works.

There is a people somewhere in south-east Asia that build their houses 
on poles entirely from wood without using any screws. They can take 
their homes apart in to pieces, transport it, and rebuild it again.

Through clever woodworking they don't need any metal or glue-like 
bindings.
