JTL Well, the reason it is interesting to me is because I think it was talked about here that even if you insert your own graphics card on a machine with an integrated GPU, the graphics card continues to go through the Intel framebuffer. The idea is, if there is no igpu at all, then this is 1 more variable that can be removed from the equation and the framebuffer would solely consist of what the graphics card comes with, and whatever the motherboard manufacturer has done with their BIOS.
