x86 emulated proprietary firmware is evil, you should not use it (but
then, often there is no other choice).
Also, i guess the point of integrated graphics is, apart from less
space used, that the whole solution gets cheaper, since you don't need
video memory and other such things, but then if you are looking for
cheap, you are looking in the wrong place anyway.
