If I install a video card, will the onboard chipset of the motherboard be utilized or just be unused?|||The chipset of a motherboard is completely different from onboard graphics. Often people get these confused.
For example, my Asus M4A77TD motherboard has a 770 chipset, but has no onboard graphics.
The chipset of the motherboard is what enables the different features of the motherboard, such as overclocking, memory support, PCI-E support, onboard graphics support etc.
Therefore, look for a motherboard with a chipset that supports your requirement, not just the onboard video.|||Zero is right about the features of a on-board chipset,but you can tell if you have a onboard graphic card or not by the vga or dvi port on the back of the motherboard, another good motherboard is a asus
p8p67 doesn't have onboard graphic card but a intel p67 express chipset and plenty of others in that category with no on-board graphic card , and yes it worth to pay a little more for a better on-board chipset if into overclocking mainly|||Usually the m/b doc will tell you how to kill the onboard video so you can use your own.|||no. it doesn't use.
do not buy motherboard based on onboard chipset. go for good motherboards like asus/gigabyte/intel.|||Unused because you would have disabled it in the BIOS.
