    Programming is 10% science, 25% ingenuity and 65% getting the ingenuity to work with the science.

    Yes. Even games like nexuiz, etc. will run.

    This is the only kind of crappy GPUs that they make.
    What?

    I have a Intel chip set, works with Compiz and has 3D support (I know, I've played games on it!).
    The driver are open source and work pretty much perfectly.
    Works out of the box.
    Compiz is enabled on the LiveCD!
