    See the chart at notebookcheck.de. The X3100 does better in 3DMark06 but ATI is ahead in most of the other results. They are at positions 79 and 80.

    Also remember that the intel drivers are not the best ones. If you really want to game the best option is to get a dedicated graphics. Even here in brazil dedicated video cards are starting to show up.

    Also, the Intel card tends to be unreliable and inconsistent - games can be hit and miss and performance does not necessarily correlate to the spec's of the card, unlike Nvidia and Ati IGP.
