a friend of mine is starting to study graphics desing, so he will need a monster pc, but he has a low budget to build the hole computer(including monitor), AND there are at list 2 years remaining till he starts using the heavy desing programmes. SO, the question is, shall he pick a small and ugly useless ati 5450 now and then upgrade, or shall he use the onboard video till he can get a decent graphics card??

I personally go with the second option, but some professional advice won`t be bad, haha
