it was so funny when I realised what a certain PC world advert was telling me ages ago (I didn't know anything back then about computers) "powerful integrated graphics for gaming", I'm sorry but, doesn't that constitute decieving the consumer? Because its just such a blatant lie to anyone who knows anything about computers but for ordinary people, it just seems dishonest.
Anyway, I was bored so I posted and had a rant :D 

Yea there is a lot of crap put out in the name of advertising but i guess they prob do it for every thing,if you dont at least half know what you are talking about/then you are gonna get shafted.

Well they are powerful integrated solutions for games indeed, just not games from the past decade. That's because every PR department is full of lying pricks that have no consideration for ignorant people.

I remember thinking how cool my friend's Turbo button on his old ass computer was. With turbo in you would get 12Mhz of power! Without it you only had 8Mhz... I always wondered why someone wouldn't be running it with the turbo button, unless they had heat issues.

Some older programs had problems because they couldn't adjust to the faster clock. Mostly games I think. They would run too fast. The turbo button was actually there to slow the system down not speed it up.
