Ok,

My 6600GT is shipped off to leadtek for repairs (it just broke. 3D just was messed up sooo band an i even reinstalled WinXP.)

Now look at what this Intel GMA can do:

Your Intel GMA900 is fairly new and is much better than most other onboard Intel graphics out there, since I believe it is DX9 compliant, whereas the old Intel Extreme Graphics lack more features than a GeForce 2 and are either DX6 or 7 compliant (not sure which). This means you have a better fall-back option if your gfx card is damaged.

Intel's IGP GPUs aren't bad for an emulation rig.. Intel's drivers are rock-solid and support more DX/OGL functions than the average IGP does (excluding nVidia/ATi IGPs, of course). Lack of a dedicated TnL engine, even on the GMA 900 series, really kills performance.. but obviously these aren't meant for the PC gamer. It is quite odd how Intel would develop a fully DX9 compliant GPU without a freaking TnL engine, however..).

I gave my 9800 Pro to my brother, seeing how he was previously playing CS:S on a GF2 MX.. needless to say, he needed it more than I did. I'm going to buy a Leadtek A400 TDH (6800 NU) fron Newegg next week, and to hold me over, I'm using my Intel Extreme 2 graphics decelerator, courtesy of my Gigabyte 865G based board.. it's pretty decent, great for emulation (my PC's main use anyway). Runs PJ64 with Jabo's D3D8 without a hitch. Not to mention, it runs Chankast without the bug that plagues nVidia cards (albeit significantly slower than a dedicated card).

I was suprised by the Intel integrated graphics in my Dell Latitude D610. It's at least a DX8 part, if not DX9. Too bad it keeps crashing after about a minute of play in N64 emus...
