I wouldn't get too excited. That chipset is over five years old -- see http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=1492. As far as I know, the G550 support is worse than that for the G450, and there's no 3d support for their newer "Parhelia" line, so they're basically trending away from open drivers. :(

(Plus, even the Parhelia cards get pretty low performance marks.)
