Points between the Onboard VGA and VGA Add-on

Here are a few points advantage over VGA Onboard VGA add-on:
* Onboard VGA is integrated with the motherboard so it certainly will not happen problem of incompatibility between the motherboard and VGA. Although this discrepancy cases very rare, but sometimes also occur in several types and brands of motherboards with VGA particular type and brand.

* Prices motherboard with VGA OB almost the same, or to some type / brand, even cheaper than a motherboard with VGA. So we got a VGA virtually "free." This who could become economical solution for limited budget.

But that does not mean VGA OB does not have a deficiency when compared with the add-on VGA.

Here are a few:
* VGA OB does not have its own memory (but now several manufacturers of motherboards have some add their own memory or special memory for VGA sideport OB). He must share (share) with memory (RAM) installed on the motherboard. As a result the capacity of RAM will be reduced. On systems with limited RAM, this is not it affect the performance of computer as a whole.

* Onboard VGA performance is relatively low compared lbh add-on VGA. Please caution interpreting this statement. Onboard VGA performance was not bad, but the ability of course somewhat limited, particularly for applications requiring reply ² VGA performance on high, for example, play the game 3D's latest. But compared with add-on VGA lower class, so to speak VGA OB today is still able to keep even suppras.

* Motherboard with VGA OB more usually small in size compared to a few centimeters motherboard with VGA. Yg lbh small size is usually called microATX (mATX). This intended to cut the cost of manufacture (since the motherboard with VGA OB intended for low-budget class). Consequently, the number of expansion slots (slots for component ² such additional internal modem, internal TV tuner, etc.) are also less than the motherboard lbh without the VGA. But there are also some brand motherboard with VGA OB who has the size of "normal" (ATX), although very rare.
