I suggest the 1 GB module.

Using On-board graphics with games will provide you with poor performance. Linux uses OpenGL which is very dependent on video RAM capacity, video RAM bandwidth, and raw GPU/VPU speed. On-board graphics fights bandwidth with the main processor and usually the shared memory is small.

Buying desktop computers from brands like Dell, HP/Compaq, Gateway, and many others are ok for farmer john like people, but it is best to build the computer when it is going to be used for games.

thk you very much and i do plan to build my own computer soon
