Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950

This is some kind of graphics thing for laptops.  I have to say I really don't know jack shit about computers so I was wondering if some Anonymous who isn't stupid like me would tell me whether it's shitty or not.  I want to play new-ish games on a laptop I'm buying myself for Christmas.

Yeah it should play all the new games currently out (UT2004, Half Life 2, etc). It certainly isn't the best but it will work, just don't expect the smoothest gameplay and you'll want to use lowest settings for most newer games.

Buy play you mean  "can draw frames to the screen? I assume.

Buy a real graphics card or get ready for the most intense interactive slide shows ever.

I've seen the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 play Doom 3 at semi-playable speeds, with lowest gfx settings of course. Certainly I do agree, you should always use a true graphics card instead of integrated.

It's not terrible. It's amazing as an integrated graphics chip, and will probably be better than you expect considering damn near anyone you ask is like "INTEL GRAPHICS? LULZ 2FPS IN QUAKE 3!"

You'll be limited to slightly older games and lower detail settings, but I was able to play and beat San Andreas on one (it was pretty smooth!), as well as umm Defcon. Also it has pixel shading shit so it works with Vista and OS X graphics stuff well.

Basically, >>3 is right, >>4 is talking out his ass. It's pretty low end but not useless unless you rely on FPS counts to get erections.
