   The main advantage of an internal graphics, is perhaps for initial test.   
      
   I used the internal on mine, for a couple months, before adding   
   a video card and turning the internal off. And that also freed up   
   the memory the frame buffer was using.   
      
   My monitor has low enough native resolution, that there is no   
   real difference between the video card output and the build-in.
