Is there any reviews for this intergrated graphics chip?
I found this amazing dell notebook at a great price, but, I want to play some games.

When I mean games, i don't mean like, Crysis or stuff like that.
But, rather, NBA Live 08 (for PC), CS and maybe CS source.
Maybe some AOE3.

I had intergrated graphics before (back in 2003 for my desktop pc), and it was shit.
Is it still shit?
 
css & cs will play "OK" ... aoe3 sure , but nba live was a hog if i remember ......... x3100 is pretty shitty tho
 
The X3100 was one of the faster integrated chips when it was released. It should play games in low resolution fine.

My laptop has an X3100 integrated graphics chipset. I only briefly played Source games and it's nothing to write home about, but it is playable. If you want to play games you might want to consider getting one with even a lower- to mid-range mobile GPU like the 8500 or 8600. Those are large steps up from the X3100.
 
It s pretty crappy. I certainly wouldn't call it "playable"

Note here, the results from Half-Life2 Episode 2 (You're looking for the Intel G35 Express):

I guess you could reduce the settings to all low, but such a low framerate is not a good starting point.
