After seeing how mixed my results have been with nVidia 8200 IGP (ie. full-screen flash falls flat on the floor), I was wondering about results using Intel X3100 graphics (the Dell outlet is having a sale on the Studio Hybrids again).
As they say it what you don't know that you don't know that kills ya...
I know (now) to look at full-screen Flash.. some Googling ( http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-114 and http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=280138 ) suggests the X3100 may do better than my 8200 with this... but again, I'm wondering if there is anything I'd expect to be just fine, that isn't.
These posts suggest problems tho...:

So it looks like Ubuntu is out unless I want to use Hardy (my linux experience is eerily like Windows.. for best performance I have to use the previous version of OS, and previous version of graphics drivers (173 on the nvidia side)
)
So it appears the X3100 is just as ugly of a ball of wax as the nvidia 8200 ?
I begin to wonder, what *does* work in linux ?!?!
