Quite an interesting experience :) | The remaining problem for me then is the speed. If it isn't up to at | least the nVidia 7600GS specs, then I can't use Intel yet.

I have never benchmarked the various devices, but from what I can tell, nVidia and ATI are solidly in the performance lead. At best I would expect the Intel solutions to be at parity with the 7600s. The next jump on the horizon is the GMA4500 which is a DX10 part, but it seems to be aimed more at the home theatre people. | I'm maxing a 2.4 GHz CPU with some combined Csound/OpenGL stuff.
