Intel does not design graphics chipsets that can be used on physical cards. The graphics component is integrated in the CPU. To get Intel graphics you simply buy an Intel CPU with Intel graphics. Intel graphics is not available in/with AMD CPUs. nVidia designs graphics chipsets which are used on motherboards and graphics cards. ATI also designs a chipset which is used on motherboard and available in graphics cards.

As far as ThinkPenguin goes you are mistaken. There are no trade barriers/duties. There is VAT which is collected on delivery if the order is shipped from the United States. You have a choice at check out though to have it ship from the UK. If the UK option is selected you save more than 20% as the VAT is already taken care of for European customers. In actuality your getting a bit of a discount over US customers on the products price. It is about 20% less than if the 20% was tacked onto the products price for European customers. The total is actually as much as 27% less than what customers in the US state of New Jersey are paying.

Customers in Brazil and some countries are actually potentially paying duties as high as 60% in some instances. These are real duties / trade barriers and something customers have a good reason to avoid. Buying local in those cases saves money (potentially).
