I'm looking to buy this computer here, but i am a little concerned about the integrated video. I don't play any any hard core computer games (actually no games at all), but I do watch a lot of videos and DVD movies. I'm planning on connecting this to a 19 inch LCD widescreen monitor. Will the integrated video card be a problem for me?

you really need to know the specs on the onboard video. find out what motherboard it is (model#), and google it. chances are tho, its fine for what you will use it for. in fact, most of the onboard stuff is pretty good these days. unless you have specialized needs

For watching dvd/divx onboard video is ok. The only problem is if you want to go to an extreme resolution on your monitor. Most of the decoding for dvd/divx is done by the cpu anyway.
