I'd vote Nvidia, but on-board graphics are never good.

nvidia nforce2 boards with onboard video is not bad. It is a Geforce 4 mx440 on the MSI-K7N2G-ILSR. I liked it alot better than the Geforce 2 it replaced.I had to upgrade video cards again as the onboard one cant take high bus speeds.I have a Nvidia 5600 Ultra now and love it but for most use including Quake 3 and the such the onboard ones from nvidia are pretty good.

Is there any website which carried an article compating all the on board graphics chips?

ATI rs300 is the most powerful onboard graphics now .
It is the first to have directx 8 pixel and vertex shader,fastest t&l engine and a 4pixel pipeline in onboard graphics.

Afaik, On board or Add on, the performance should be same. I prefer ATI and Nvidia comes as second choice. If you can, stay away from Intel because, it's only meant for Corporate usage but not for gaming (Assuming you are a gamer).
