As much as I don't like integrated video cards, if the wife only needs a system for 'net/e-mail, some word processing, occasional DVD, or otherwise non-gaming or non-heavy picture or media editing, the GMA 950 (and/or perhaps the GMA X3100) is just fine. My Macbook has a GMA 950 and it has worked out for me. If I want power, I'll use my desktop which has a 8800GTS.
