Do you have onboard Video and Sound?

On my motherboard I use onboard video and sound drivers because I found the motherboard to be extremely affordable and because it leaves my PCI card slots open for other uses. Does your motherboard have onboard video and sound, and if so do you still use a secondary sound or video card?

i do have onboard video and sound but i think they aren't fast enough for my needs so i do not use them instead i use my vidoe and sound card which i think are far more faster then the inbuilt ones.

My motherboard has both audio and graphics chips, but I use a sound card and AGP card. I could probably survive quite well without the AGP, but the sound card is essential to me because I play a lot of operatic music through my computer.

I have onboard Video on my computer yes I also have what they call a brown slot also known as AGP. Yes I have onboard Video Sound and I also have a Video Card. I'm glad I got my computer like this because my AGP card went out and I would of been stuck if I didn't have onboard at the same time. I used the onboard till I got another Video Card.

I tend to use an addin video card as they are much faster and better quality than onboard video cards. But I normally use the onboard sound card as they are good enough for what I want to use them for and most now are 5.1 surround sound

I'm not really a fan of onboard audio and video. Both my audio and video are separate cards. They perform better and faster than onboard chips. They may cost a bit more but they are worth it. =)
