I never use the m1210(945) or the 1420(965) for gaming only for testing MDs.
In the case of the 945 the performance of XP is not a myth, there is not 1 single game that runs better under WIN7 than in XP, all the games i tested with the 10 versions of XP MDs i released, i tested again with WIN7, not even 1 games made it better. XP has a higher amount of available RAM, AND RAM IN USE. There is something people dosent understan about the RAM in the integrated chipsets. In chipsets there is something more important than available RAM, and it is the used RAM. In the case of 945+XP is much better for gaming that 945+WIN7 then why we use WIN7? becuase 945 users need it for the vertex shader 2.0 and TnL, if they dont use 7 some games simply wont run. Then its not a myth... its obvious. dont use these laps for gaming, and i dont even play... Ive tested: SINS OF A SOLAR EMPIRE NFS Most Wanted OPERATION 7 KILLING FLOOR AMERICAS ARMY 2 All of them performed WAY better under XP. -- INTEL 9xx SOLDIERS SANS FRONTIERS
