Since it's supposed to be a "major discussion" I have to say that....
we are beaing foold by Intel.....

1. New drivers (at least some of them 1518, 1545) work quite well on
950 - why aren't they supported by intel?
2. GMA 950 on Macbooks has more GL capabilities and runs better! I
would like to have the same functionality on Windows. Even if those GL
Calls are calculated by CPU i still want them.

I have not run any benchmarks to compare 3DA and SW TnL=1 - I run the
latter because i find it more convenient and... I hardly play any
games anyway

Back on performance - since emulating TnL with software (3DA or SW) is
done by the CPU I guess having 2 GHz or above is the only option to
get decent fps in games that are 4-5 years old (or older - X2 runs
like crap in High Quality - It shoud run better IMHO).

Based on your RAM or CPU you should tweak in-game settings but in most
games based on Quake engine (Quake 3, JA) or HL turning of volumetric
shadows is a MUST! Try it with JA - it runs pretty good on my 1,66 C2D
in HQ 1280x800 - but with shadows set to 0.

Overall I'm pretty satisfied with GMA 950 - I can't run Mass Effect or
Bioshock but I have some time for Good Old Games now. System Shock 2
scares me....
