I picked up an old computer fromm a recycle center to use a a media server. Its an optiplex gx620 with an Intel 945g chip. I installed Ubuntu and got drivers for it. After that I didn't notice any difference it preformance. Is there anyway that I can see if the (integrated) graphics are working properly?
Thanks!

Yes, any graphics chip need a driver whether it's integrated or add-on.

But for the most popular integrated ones (most notably Intel chipsets which are very common), the operating system installs it's own driver if it finds a compatible one in it's driver store during OS installation.
