Do I need to run a Separate video card?

I ordered up an D525 Atom MB

I was looking at the manual and it says to use a separate video card.

Is that a must have item? If so I need to order one.

Hi

The Intel D525 board has integrated GMA3150 graphics chipset.

I use one as a multimedia streamer and for playing films direct to my TV etc and the on board video is fine.

I don't recall John or Andy mentioning any video card requirement with it for EMC.

There are boards by Asus, Gigabit (I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole, but that's bitter experience in the past) and others, but don't know which one you have

Onboard graphics seems to work well with those boards. Which is good, because there is only one PCI slot.

Thank you that is what I originally thought I just wanted to confirm.
