RENDER extension for I845

[PHD]

Hi,
Is there a simple way to activate the Render extension for the Intel MB
with chipset I845. Some articles on the net go until recompiling the
kernel, thing that makes me afraid on a production server.
Moreover, adding a video card does not cost a lot...just to know if this
is worth patching the system...or spending some money.
Thanks,
Philippe, Chiangmai
