And rightly so. Onboard graphics are almost invariably a better choice for
pretty much any normal business desktop[1]. They tend to be well supported
under Linux without the need for closed source drivers that leave you
with a tainted (and hence unsupportable) kernel, they're more than fast
enough, and they've proved less prone to failure than a PCI/AGP/PCIE card
in my experience. Plus of course, you don't need to pay extra for them.
YMMV.
