Our GMA , in this case i take GMA 950 / 945GM graphics for example, do have the power to do all the graphic process in older games, BUT as long as it does not need Vertex shader...even if a 945GM have enough clock (400MHz usually), and it does Pixel Shader 2.0 via hardware (thank god for that) greatly, BUT it does not have Vertex Shader if the game requires it..alas it does not play..intel do said it support Vertex Shader 3 via software, but we've seen all these years they made very bad software for their hardware..
one more factor, intel GMA is well known for their bad driver, and also shared memory, or IDVM, Intel Dynamic Video Memory technology does not optimized enough for most system, and with the absence of a good dedicated memory, gaming experience is indeed not on the satisfactory level..
