Im looking into getting a sony vaio laptop (cr series), and it has intel x3100 onboard graphics. i was wondering if anyone knew how the x3100 works with modern games. being a gaming person, i want a laptop that will atleast play most games with descent settings, and i know intel is infamous for horrible gaming performance with onboard video, but i dont want to pay over 1500 dollars, plus the cr series is perfect except for the video. thanks in advance.

It is the best that Intel could offer but still hardly competitive with what Nividia and ATI have. Check out the benchmark rankings here. The x3100 (at #60) is still with the bottom performers.

Your gaming needs could better be met by graphics cards in the # 28 or higher ranking. There are laptops w/in your budget that has at least the Geforce Go 7600 or better.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator is not a very good graphics option. It's not compatible with many games and is not recommended for gaming.

Onboard Graphics and Modern Games will not work. I don't care what make it is. They use the system memory and CPU which decreases the performance of your games. Also Laptops and Gaming don't work well in my opinion. Unless you get a $4000 Alienware Laptop they have real Motherboards and Discrete Graphics Cards.
