yeah gma950 (pulsebo), stay far away from those. but the rest of the intel line work great. Although the intel gpu's are rather weak in terms of performance. They'll handle compiz fine but not really good for say games or whatever. Intel gpus tend to have the best support for "out of the box" linux features like the display manager. So yeah if you want performance go for Nvidia (or ATI, don't have much experience with ati so can't comment), if you want ease of use and to not have to deal with closed source drivers, go for intel if you can get a mobo with intel graphics onboard -- Gordon Allott Canonical Ltd. 27 Floor, Millbank Tower London SW1P 4QP www.canonical.com
