Kinda related to the topic, has anyone had any experience running any OS (FC4 for instance, but should be the same with others as well), with a MoBo that has integrated gfx ? In theory DVI-D should be the same regardless whether it's coming from the MoBo or GFX card, so how's it work in practice ? Is there some advantage/reason to use a gfx card ?

What I'm thinking here is quite simple, is there performance and more importantly quality differences when comparing a gfx card and MoBo integrated gfx, assuming both use DVI-D, since IMO both the integrated and gfx card should give out the exactly same DVI-D output, where as in analog the D/A conversion might have differences between cards and integrated.

My idea is to build the system using a backend on server and frontend on a "hifi" desktop pc, so I'd like as stuff in the desktop machine as possible. Also anybody have experience of using that kind of "terminal" as frontend.

The reason for using a video card is to get on-board MPEG2 (and/or 4) decoding. This the load off of the CPU, allowing less expensive (or smaller SFF) machines deliver the desired results.
