How do you know he is using IGP?

I used to play AoE 3 on an ATI Xpress 200 (X300), which is an IGP. The game is not too laggy, but it was do-able.

Settings were 1024x768 on low IIRC

Agreed !!

Be very careful about these "1.4 GHz" listings. The average user doesn't realize there is a huge difference between a Celeron and a non-Celeron!
