if my monitor has an HDMI input, but no speakers.. it will route the sound out through the onboard sound still correct?

Yes the sound still comes out the normal sound card outputs.

Assuming that Windows hasn't chosen to set the HDMI audio to default. If you find you have no sound but your on-baord audio is enabled, check the sound panel....

The Q of which one works better for your monitor is more and more blurred as computer monitors and TVs are converging at such a high rate. (Much to the suffering of anyone that does any real image work and needs a decent monitor I must add)

Good point :)

Thanks to all. It looks like I just need to get a new graphics card.
