Hey guyz plz let me know how good is above onboard video card on laptops with 256mb shared memory for gaming?thanks.

Comparable to nvidia 8400. Only thing is lack of dedicated ram. I didn't see much differnece in windows rating, 3dmark or even games between the two.

G7150 m performs better than this.. But as an overall package c2d+x3100 > 7150+turion x2

how is it when Max ram has been alloted to it ?
How is it compared to x3500 ?
How is x3500 compared to 8400GS and 8300GS ?
How is x3100 compared to 7100GS, 7150GS, 7200GS and 7300GS ?
How are they compared to Radeon HD Series 3400(or what ever it is) and 3340 ?

In simple words, how are GMA X3100 and X3500 compared to current similar budget dedicated cards ?

Don't expect tremendous improvement in performance just coz you've allotted all the RAM! It doesn't make much difference if the gpu is underpowered.

Obivously x3500 > x3100

How is x3500 compared to 8400GS and 8300GS ?

x3500 > 8400 > 8300

How is x3100 compared to 7100GS, 7150GS, 7200GS and 7300GS ?

x3500 > 7300

How are they compared to Radeon HD Series 3400(or what ever it is) and 3340 ?

No idea.

[nvidia]
