I agree with the intergrated graphics because at the same time you want to keep your HTPC as quiet as possible. But when you choose intergrated graphics, make sure you can get the most powerful intergrated graphics available on the market. Right now, Intel and AMD has good ones up their sleeves (I currently use an Intel DG33TL motherboard and it provides enough power for my HD needs and in dual display mode, but HDMI would be nice one day). Now if your gaming with this HTPC...well then go all out with the video card and get the best one out there. But try to get a better cooling solution as the HTPC will be loud with high end video cards.
“Measuring 21.5 inches each, with 1920 x 1080 resolution, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, and optical multitouch technology under their chunky bezels, these two models represent the biggest mainstream push for touchscreen computing yet.”
