Intel GMA X3100

Hehe, the problem is most people don't know the difference even if you gave them more info. While the X3100 may be fine for most tasks I would imagine anyone even remotely serious about OGL 2.0+/DX10+ would run far far away from it.
 
I remember the GMA950 on my Mac mini (1.25 GB RAM) getting somewhere around a 2.4-2.9.

I've heard of some people getting a 3.0 with a GMA950 as well.

Thanks, Eldorian! :)

In other words, unless the drivers for SR are highly underoptimized, there's no evidence that the GMA950 is a bottleneck for the WinSAT test.... I guess, though, that DirectX 10 or OpenGL benchmarks would be more useful for the gamers.

I do not think the GMA X3000/3100 will support Direct X 10. Intel has mentioned that it isn't powerful for it even with the programable features it has. I have been getting conflicting reports on the X3000 Series supporting Direct X 10 though. I would like to see the hardware T&L turned on at least.
