    New GMA 500 Drivers!!!!


    Finally. Not perfect but better. From netfreak @ the pocketables forums:

    Guys,

    we do seem to have a moving here:

    there's a new driver for Atom GPU on intel site
    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filt...3&submit=Go%21

    I installed it on Windows 7, ran a CrystalMark test and here what it shows:
    GDI - 1405
    D2D - 674
    OGL - 230

    It is more than I had before (D2D was 200 at most)

    UPDATE: the problem with black desktop after sleep is solved

    UPDATE 2: I have turned on Aero on W7 and woking with my system as usual, but the responsiveness of the system is superb. It is first time that I am happy to work with Vaio P, cause it now seems as to be worth its investments

    After a week of use. This driver offers a marginal improvement at best.
