Computers aimed at casual users or office environments tend to come with integrated graphics cards. These cards are perfectly acceptable devices for displaying things like web pages and spreadsheets. They are not very good gaming cards, though, since they struggle to maintain an acceptable frame rate in most games. If you have an integrated graphics card, such as one made by the SiS company, you may want to know what version it is. This can be helpful when updating your graphics software, since it can improve system stability by fixing bugs and improving compatibility with other hardware.
