Hello guys. I haven't posted here in a long time, but it seems to be the only thread for the X3000 that lives on. Anyways.
Vista is bad for the mobile part, the X3100. Do you know what the performance differences are between the XP and Vista in Half Life 2 engines?? I heard Vista is worse.
yeah thats kinda strange that even changing res doesnt affect the performance
That's due to a driver problem. That just means you aren't getting good fps in lower resolutions.
Anyway, it seems Intel basically abandoned the G35/X3500. The only board available for the X3500 is Asus P5E-VM. Not even Intel makes the X3500 based board. I guess the rumors that they abandoned it to concentrate on the G45/X4500 was true.
The next IGP to anticipate is the X4500 coming in Apr/May. It'll have full DX10 support, and it'll have 2 more unified shaders. It'll also have fully HD video acceleration on the hardware for the best X4500 version.

Certainly cool. The X4500HD looks very interesting. I am gonna bet that the X4500HD will be more than 2x faster than the X3000 in average. Probably Intel also learned from developing the X3000 and it'll have less bottlenecks on the X4500 and perform well.
BTW, World in conflict doesn't run on XP, but runs on Vista. Also, the latest drivers for Vista, the 15.7.3 driver enables Enemy Territory: Quake Wars to run, while it doesn't on XP.
-Next drivers for Vista/XP coming in early Feb.
-DX10 drivers coming in March
