I'd think so, yeah.
Though people think its also an effective soloution as they don't need to use up PCI, etc slots on these things they can get already on the board.
What they don't tend to know, is how bad the graphics/sound is with onboard.
I've seen someone in PC World standing in awe at a golf game on a cheap laptop, only for me to look at the graphics, and think they were made 10 years ago, and are running from a very bad onboard graphics chip.
Just goes to show how uneducated some people are in computing nowadays still...
