    I finished a clean install of XP SP3 on my Vaio Z (VGN-Z27GN). 2D and 3D graphics benchmarks are radically higher with the Intel GPU under Stamina than with the Nvidia 9300GS. I mean... DRAMATICALLY slower (about around 5x slower to be extact) Has anyone experienced this? I am using the latest XP drivers from Sony. I dont understand it.
