HI Tom,
this used to be 100% correct
sorry but i have to completely disagree now.
1)in testing laptops (same shell 1 with dedicated video the other onboard) benchamrks were identical.
2) using onboard video mobo and then adding a dedicated card (which disables the onboard) benchmarks were the same.
most onboard video does have dedicated memory (albeit small) for most audio apps more than 64meg is not needed (not counting Waves or other graphics intense effects)
not counting post to film where you need video playback (and ideally a decklink card is the wise choice for that anyway)
we do a 2U live samples playback unit that uses onboard video.
same for a 2u live recording rig.
now with that said alot will depend on board and chipset used.
