Fanfoot · **New Intel GMA 500 drivers finally show its potential -** 06-22-2009, 06:34 PM

Looks like the latest 1105 build for the GMA 500 (Z-series Atoms, so Dell Mini 10, not 10v) finally shows some of the potential that was claimed for this chip all along--Aero, full screen Flash, iTunes playback and better gaming performance.

Aero runs?whats the video playback/ fullscreen streaming content and divx like? You say performance increase eh? I'm in the process of acquiring 7 right now... is it normal to wait a really long time staring at green circular blinking dots?... about 40 mins so far...

Is this reason enough to switch from XP to Win 7?

Um, no! Grab the 7260 build off a torrent site and use the product key that MS gives you.
