2. Real graphics cards are more efficient when playing videos such as DVDs and media files
3. Real graphics cards support more than 1 monitor (monitor + TV in my case)
4. Real graphics cards have better driver support
1. true
2. nope, they should be the same, it depends if the functionality is built into the chip
3. nope, some integrated graphics supports two monitors or has TV out, the shuttle nforce2 IGP board I got for my mom supports two monitors.
4. not neccessarily, my mom's nforce2 IGP uses the same drivers as real graphic cards.
