Limitations: No Powerful 3D Graphics
Despite a host of positive features, there is a downside to this system. Ambitious gamers won't enjoy it that much, particularly if they prefer 3D games. The S3 graphics chip integrated on the board is a fairly weak renderer of 3D objects. The first problem is that the slow graphics memory takes a bite out of the performance, which can really spoil gaming fun. To make matters worse, the chip doesn't support many graphics features. In the area of 2D graphics, however, the board's performance is more than satisfactory.
