The manual has a misprint about the RAM slots used for dual channel. I had the same problem but I didn't think about that one.

ya i could barely play sim city 4 haha was laggin. what type of games will the onboard GFX play? doom 3? half life?

I've gotten last gen onboard to do medium to low settings on Half Life 2. So I suggest that as a benchmark.

onboard is very nice to have if your dedicated card goes out. But hey, Its cyber monday, why not buy a decent dedicated card?
