IE9 GPU rendering

Right. If no HA is there you will maybe get 5. So to get 30 that means HA is enable as much as possible.

Not being able to un-check it means your GPU shares memory with the computer (in most cases), and is not using dedicated memory, and IE9 will automatically enable hardware acceleration where available. You can test this by trying some of the IE test drive sites (Fish Tank comes to mind as the beta version of IE would only go to about 20 FPS without HA, and a full 60 FPS with HA. Now without being able to un-check the box IE gets around 40 FPS, so HA does help where it can). For the most part you will see a good overall improvement on graphic intense sites.

Not quite, Shared memory makes no difference as long as the card is DX10 comliant. In most cases simply updating or reinstalling your GPU drivers after IE9 is installed resolves the issue. I've seen this on the new i5 laptops.

Don't forget to update your WEI after updating your graphics driver.

I had another look at the fish, and I'm getting 60fps with 500. :)

Got that on my sub-laptop (max 45fps)!
