Answer 1

hi
im using the onboard graphics and it works great.
i can play need for speed 6 hot pursuit 2 and GTA3 and return to castle wolfenstein without trouble.
BUT you cant use ddr400 at full speed with the internal graphics core.
its limited to ddr333 but i do belive you can use very aggressive timings if you put in a ddr400 and run it at ddr333 speed but im not sure.
it is very easy to run it at 333.
only choose fsb / dram ratio 4:5 if you have a fsb of 266
and 1:1 if you have fsb 333
ddr400 = 3200
ddr333 = 2700
and because amd using dual technology in there cpu the fsb is doubled.
133 is actually 266
166 is actually 333
and 200 is 400
there is a topic about memory.check it out
called
Good Memory Choices for K7N2G- IL and ILSR Board
i think that was all you need to know.
happy building
