 I don't know what chipset is used in A7N, but I well know that only new
 NVidia chipsets for mobo have an intrinsic video based on GeForce 2M
 functionality (mobo price <150$). However, even in that case people prefer mobo
 without intrinsic video (AGP video with DDR would be better). Note
 that the intrinsic video chipset has about 1,5 times worse  characteristics
 then the same type external one.
