Do you have practical experience with the G965 Express chipsets showing a heavy hit on CPU performance? Intel's own bumf about this generation of integrated graphics chips (X3000) and the wikipedia entry I cited above claim that many of those problems from earlier chipsets have been mitigated. I'm very interested to know if you have observed these problems specifically with this latest chipset?

ps. As an aside, looking at the rantings on Intel's forums from people that see what AIGLX can do with these chips while Vista can't is interesting

pps. It seems that Dell's 22" LCD displays won't support 1680x1050 with the X3000 from other threads on those forums (it seems to be WinXP users complaining about that, but someone else mentioned it was a problem for XOrg7.1 too)

Regarding 1680x1050, all I can say is that it works with GMA950 (945GM) and Dell 20" LCD (2007WFP). I even got it to work with an old first-generation Centrino 855GM. So it's hard to imagine that it wouldn't work with the latest chipset, though I haven't read any of those forums you mentioned.

You do need the new "modesetting" XOrg driver to get it working, though.
