I am looking for a laptop and it has a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950 as the graphics chip.

Does anybody know if the Intel GMA 950 can handle Dawn of War and Winter Assault?

I know it's too soon but do you think it can handle Dark Crusade?

I wouldn't bet on it. Some of the newer GMAs fool DoW into thinking that they actually have hardware T&L, but to be honest I'd go with a different laptop that has a dedicated graphics card.

Get a different one. I have the same set up and WA freezes on me at random intervals. I can't play online cuz I'm afraid I'll drop out of games. I'll definitely be switching over to a different mobile video card when I go back home in November.

My brother just got laptop from work, centrino core duo with an dedicated Geforce Quadro, and it's only playable on the absolute lowest settings.

The laptops I am looking at are tablet PCs.

Most Tablet PCs have the Intel GMA 950 card.

There's only one tablet laptop that I know of has a NVIDIA Quadro card.
