    I'm wondering how good the new graphics chipset is? it'll be hindered by it's reliance on system memory and it will much Vista's Aero with no problems...but I want to play HL2 and the new CnC 3 - Tiberian Wars. think it'll do? I would switch over to XP right away to methinks, and make sure I have 2GB of RAM. one Vista is not so buggy and better supported and 4GB of RAM is cheap, I might go back. :p

    first, you realize that it isn't dx10, right? anyway, there is a user in the asus forum that just bought the a8jr with the x2300 and he posted up some 3dmark scores...

    It is NOT DX10, so don't use that as a reason to buy it.

    I could care less about DX9 really. I just want to be able to use Aero without any hitches and hiccups. my friend just bought himself a decent rig with the GMA950 and even with 2GB of RAM and it maxed out, he says it stumbles about. with a slower machine (Dothan 2ghz w/2GB RAM and x300) with superior graphics, he says it's smooth as butter. I'll go check that post out...thanks!

    But you do care about DX9, don't you? That is if, as in your first post, you said you'd like to play C&C 3 and HL2.

    The X2300 will run Aero quite fine, and certainly better than GMA950. On the other hand, C&C 3 will have to be played with almost all settings at 'low' to be acceptable. It will run, though...
