    The Argument that you can't play games on that level of IGP is quite flawed.

    You can play Quake III on an atom netbook.. but apart from nostalga reasons most wouldn't want to.

    However there's plenty of current games that would play well on Zactate or even Ontario level of performance, that's the difference. It's perfect for those cheap indie specials on Steam for example.. which often have less than cutting edge graphics, but fresh and fun gameplay.

    Most of this games run on any IGP that was released the last 4 years.

    The only thing that would really bring igps forward is, if the next minumum standard would be LLano typ gpu in the lowest end cpu.

    So there's only two types of games in your mind. Those you can play on an IGP from 4 yrs ago, and those you can play on a minimum of Llano class GPU?

    Nope, playing games at minimum or sub 30fps is in my books not playing games... its a cramp.

    With Llano type cores your able to play most games at medium with da decent resolution. Thats playing a game.
