RETIRED GRAPHICS CARD PARTS

The following parts are being retired from the article, as they are no longer modern and rarely if ever appear in modern notebooks. For information on these, please refer to my 2005 article.

Integrated: Intel Extreme Graphics, Intel Extreme Graphics 2, ATI 320M/340M IGP, ATI Mobility Radeon 9000/9100 IGP

Dedicated: ATI Mobility Radeon, ATI Mobility Radeon 7500, ATI Mobility Radeon 9000, ATI Mobility Radeon 9200, nVidia GeForce 4 Go series, ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 (9550), ATI Mobility Radeon 9700, ATI Mobility Radeon 9800, nVidia GeForce FX Go series, ATI Mobility Radeon X800 (XT), nVidia GeForce Go 6800 (Ultra)

Note that a couple of these may seem to be retired prematurely while others listed below may seem to you as they should've been retired. I've chosen these largely at my own discretion, but also based on their market penetration. For example, the instant the Go 7800 was released, nVidia pretty much stopped shipping the Go 6800. X700s and 6600s, on the other hand, while gradually disappearing from the market, are still present.

And for some odd reason, OEMs are still madly in love with the X600.
