Up to 16MB of powerful memory
ATI RAGE 128 PRO graphics engine
32-bit true color 3D graphics up to 1920x1200
Hardware DVD video playback
2D graphics up to 1920x1200@85 Hz
Full DirectX, Direct3D and OpenGL acceleration
AGP Univeral Bus (for AGP 2X/4X systems
I dont' know..but those are the specs for the rage 128...see how they compare to the onboard video. it would depend on how fast the video card is clocked at versus the onboard too. But I would use onboard...as the rage is really old school to run anything close to todays games.

Is it intel extreme graphics chip?
If it is I would leave it.

(Intel) onboard graphics with shared memory?
all i can say is.... "yuck". keep the PCI card with its own memory.

the 865g based ones are quite fast apparently.

anything but that such as 845 and earlier...keep the pci card. also note that in servers they often use old crappy dedicated cards (ati rage IICs and XLs with 2-8mb memory) for stability, cost, and the fact that two hardware devices using the same memory hurts performance too.
