I personally avoid integrated peripherals, as they have always caused me headaches. Integrated sound often uses a "SoundPro" chip which I've not been able to match up with any documented chipset. Never been able to make it work myself. I've also had difficulty with on board graphics controllers. Now I avoid integrated peripherals like the plague. -ptw
