Though, unless you can buy hardware that doesn't use them, you're
screwed.  Laptops have fixed chipsets, so do some desktops, and the
supported Intel chipsets don't seem to be used on plug-in cards.

Often, you really don't have much of a choice of what graphics hardware
to pick from.  Before I bought my laptop, I spent ages researching what
I could buy locally.  My choices were NVidia, ATI, and some Intel
chipset that I couldn't see listed as being supported.

Other people will make similar comments about sound cards.
