I've also got a GMA3150 in my new netbook.
AFAIK its a netbook release of the X3100 (GMA965)
I've not tried any modded drivers on it yet, as I've been unable to
ascertain which would be useful. The only one I considered trying
appeared to be 64bit only, and its a 32bit cpu in this thing.

It does 'feel' slightly more powerful than my old GMA945 bearing
device. I can watch youtube videos now for example.

In response to NeoDragon. There are many reasons why somebody would
buy a netbook. Portability is a big plus. I carry mine with me
everywhere I go, 24/7. So weighing only 1KG and fitting in my handbag
is great. I could not do that with a full sized laptop.
Also price is another bonus. Due to low income a £200 netbook is a
major purchase. I'm talking a years saving. There is just no way on
earth I could raise the money required to purchase anything bigger.

I've not tried this one on XP yet. I mainly run linux which makes for
a much smoother experience on these small machines.
On my old netbook XP secured drastically improved fps over Win7.
Double in some cases. This thing using stock drivers performs as well
under Win7. As did the 945 under XP with modded drivers.

I'll try XP on here when I'm next home for a spell next month.
