I, like many others was tired of the poor performance of the 950GMA. I did many google searches for methods on how to do so. I also did many tests myself.
I tried different operating systems. I used World of Warcraft as my benchmark tool (not that great of a choice). With my testing I learned that Windows XP offered better performance but I couldn't quite understand why. A few more searches later I came across a post in Spanish. When translated, it gave me a link to this Google Group page. I read some posts and was instantly excited about this "Modded Driver". Once I installed the modded driver in Vista, I noticed games running better then ever, even some games that didn't run before showed signs of life. I was later questioning about a XP driver. While work on a XP driver was underway, I was working on my own version of such a driver. My driver didn't seem to offer much performance but it did have GL support. Of course today there is OpenGL support on modded XP drivers now though. I recently started to test out the 950GMA in Macbooks. I noticed that in macbooks, this card offered more. It was like the macbook had a driver similar to the modded drivers for Vista or Windows 7. Being in this group helped me learn some things about graphics cards that I never knew before. It showed me that the 950GMA has more to offer then what Intel showed.
