[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 274010, member: 21101"] The video playback point is a very good one. However the problem is that the GMA 950 has been deliberately crippled by only allowing it to access 64MB of RAM, when technically it can address 224MB. The reason Civ IV crawls is not because of the speed of the chip, but the RAM it can access, defined by the architecture. I am taking it very personally because I play Civ IV on my MacBook and it's really r-e-a-l-l-y s--l--o--w Sniff. [/QUOTE]
