There shouldn't be any. :)

Just be sure that the onboard video is set as the initial display from within the mobo's bios.

It definitely works on Intel, AMD I'm not so sure.

I used to do that on an AMD 785g chipset because it actually had a high enough hash rate to bother with at the time. Make sure onboard video is set to "enabled" and not "auto" or any other option that disables when a PCIe graphics card is installed and you shouldn't have a problem.

No point in using GPUs to hash Bitcoin anymore. Litecoin, maybe barely worth it. Other purposes... thumbs up.

My experience of this is its a pain in the bios  >:(

Conflicts of drivers, blue screens ext.. never had any luck. Give it a try though.
