Intel chipset for the graphicscard there, but, what I was commenting on was the statement that the CPU's are strong enough and we do not _need_ the GPU acceleration, which I find quite wrong.

Simply the amount of data to shuffle is enough to choke certain machines, and will remain so for quite a while.

(Especially with "slow" graphics memory/shared memory setups which remain common on laptops of the cheaper inclination)
