My problem actually very minor..juz sometimes get memory dump..lappie restart..and high temperature when gaming..if u'r using it for working like powerpoint,web browsing and etc...it's kinda good ^^

By the way if u'r not using the bluetooth,go for CQ40 since it has a better graphic card..i personally think that Nvidia Geforce 9100 isnt that good..and ATI Radeon HD3200 ranked 2 place above Nvidia Geforce 9100..so i guess 3200 is better ^^...furthermore HP is a better brand than Acer ^^

yes that is correct. The Intel X3100 is just a video card for the sake of displaying the onscreen stuff. It's not powerful enough for decent gaming.

X3100 = nvidia 6150 range.

X4500 = nvidia 8200 or 9100 range or ATi 2400 range.

the best onboard video that can be had now is the ATi HD3200. Its slightly worse compared to a 8400GS but costs a lot cheaper.

Its Dx10.1 and has SM4.0. Can play recent games on low to medium settings res between 800*600 to 1024*600. Pretty impressive for a built in video card.

I'm running the HD3200 and I can play:

Serious Sam 2 @ 1280*800 everything full except AA
Gears of War 1024*600 medium
CoD2 800*600 medium
CoD4 800*600 medium
NFS:PS 640*480 low
GRiD 640*480 low
Unreal Tournament 3 800*600 low
Unreal Tournament 2004 @1280*800 full

I'm running Vista SP1 with 3GB RAM and page file turned off.
