If you want to play games with full details and acceleration, you won't have much of a choice if the game is graphically heavy. The first post of this thread mentioned it was for a gamer who wish to play future release as well, so there wasn't really a question on the subject...

hmm, I read - ' He will use it mostly to play games like warcraft 3, games like the ones at abandonia, watch some videos, movies, home work, etc (nothing very different than a home's computer) '

and from Wiki -


Recommended:
600 MHz processor, 256 MB of RAM, 32 MB 3D video card, DirectX® 8.1 compatible sound card (Windows)

looks to me like intergrated will do fine
