    Do any of you know if the Intel X3100 supports hardware acceleration in games? I know it's integrated graphics, but I've read it also does some hardware T & L, so I'm not sure if I should enable the accelration in the game settings? I'm only playing realistic things with the X3100 (like Bewjeweled, etc.) Thanks for the the insight.

    Yes it does. Its job is to handle video.

    That's great to know, thanks. A few games don't recognize this, so I'll have to turn it on manually.
