Yeah 3D won't be to great on it, but my old M7 notebook chip is still
faster with 3D than my new desktop IGP, simply because one has a FOSS 3D
driver and the other doesn't. 

Hello ATI, nVidea do FOSS developers really first have to buy a PCI(e)
bus analyzer before there will be any usable drivers for your cards that
I (and others) pay you money for ?
