When I tested it the Intel GMA 950 integrated graphics worked pretty well
in supporting the Vista Aero Glass UI. Although it did have problems with
full screen video. I didn't test any games other than the ones included
with Vista.

Were you able to run those same games under XP using the GMA 950 without
problems? If so, it's probably the GMA 950 (Intel Lakeport?) driver which
was included with Vista. Intel may or may not provide a driver update for
this integrated graphics chipset. Check their website for an update. You
might also try emailing Intel support.

Yeah i was able to play all of them under XP + i dont have any problems
playing HD video at ful screen (1.73 ghz cpu 1GB ddr2 ram 80gb HDD)

+ thanks
