Well decided to try Ubuntu 10.04. I updated to the latest Intel
drivers and it came with some debugging tools.
Well theres this interesting tool which can be launched by typing
"intel_gpu_top" and it displays the clock of the 950GMA, and different
GPU features and at why % their being utilitzed at.
Heres an example of what it would look like inside a terminal (command
prompt) window with nothing running except 3D desktop effects.
