    I ran 3dmark05 comparing 128mb "dedicated only" on a zv6000 to 128 "shared only". The shared only scored about 530, while the dedicated was about 670. So, assuming the ze2000 x200 is basically the same without the onboard memory (might be clocked differently though), it's a difference of 140 3dmarks 05. I would say it will be slower, but not that big of a difference. It still beats other integrated gpus.

    Thanks, good information! I must say the x200 GPU impresses me. With only shared memory it still has very strong (for an integrated GPU) performance. Makes these notebooks that much more attractive... Now I wonder how overpriced the MSI S270 will be compated to the ze2000z.
