He said he wanted a "graphics card". Intel doesn't make a "video 
chipset", just a motherboard chipset with integrated graphics.

Until the free ATI drivers are done, Nvidia is still my graphics 
chipset choice. I'm using a 5200, a 6300, and and 7600 right now 
without any problems. I only use the non-free Nvidia driver with the 
7600 (so I can have the TV out working), the other 2 use the free NV 
driver.

You'll need the Nvidia driver for tv-out, GoogleEarth and Compiz.

John
