Hmm...I think there's an x3000 somewhere that I might use for a little bit of gaming. Is there any H.264 acceleration that's possible with these new drivers?

TESTDRIVE UNLIMITED
Playable but some weird problems it can be played at low settings at 640 res and also at high settings at 1024 on both settings the FPS remained same:confused: around 20,, but after finishing 1 st level the game behaves starangely the screen freezes here and there and agains resumes or sometimes PC Restarts

XPAND RALLY XTREME
Fully playable at defaults at 1024

ARMA ARMED ASSAULT
Not playable PC restarts

COMPANY OF HEROS
Game starts and shows screens while loading restarts

what is their cost?
Will they really able to handle the games mentioned at the start of this thread?

Intel board costs around 5200/-
Asus boards cost over 6000/-
Asus offers better features and performance

They will handle the games mentioned at the start of the thread but most eyecandies turned off

I doubt it will b future proof

If u are a Gamer, then u need to get PCi-express graphics card best buy will b 8600GT as it is DX10 ready and costs around 6000/-

If u need best onboard graphics solution then this mobo is best buy

@Yesh: Sorry buddy I didn't install those drivers till now.Had a bad exprience with the earlier update(Intel's last driver update & not your T&L beta one) that I had tried out on my mobo.The games became extremely low on response.Like I said earlier,it would take around 2-3 seconds for the actual action to take place after the keypress.And the stupid thing is I was not able to switch back to my old driver(present on motherboard disc)& it would persist with the same problem.I had to format XP completely to get back my old drivers.So I am heavily doubtful about this driver update on the beta drivers.If I get the same problem again then I am dead as I have huge data on the same driver which I can't afford to loose.:(

Let me see if I can get it updated though.
