    What speed do the intel graphics run on x201, 500mhz?, as the gma chip goes up to 750mhz I think...

    Also any graphics benches and what is the windows 7 rating for aero and 3d graphics

    You're right about speed. I think some users have posted info on benchmarks, 4.4 for aero and >5 for gaming

    Just ran mine, got 4.4 for Graphics and 5.2 for Gaming Graphics. Not bad actually, loading Team Fortress 2 right now to see how well it runs.

    I think the lower voltage chips like the i7's are clocked slower (graphics clock), but the other ones are not...

    Though I wouldn't think the 620M would be clocked slower like the 620LM.

    Only the low voltage chips on the x201s/x20T (25w vs. 45w) have an underclocked GPU. The full voltage i7 has the same speed GPU as the full voltage i5.

    The i7-620LM in the X201s is 266mhz but can ramp up to 566. The i5-520M and i6-620M start at 500mhz and can boost up to 766mhz.
