[Chimera-users] Intel graphics?

[Greg Couch]

The Intel HD Graphics 3000 is much better than previous Intel offerings 
and the Intel's OpenGL drivers have improved considerably too.  That 
said, personally, I would get laptop with AMD/ATI Radeon or Nvidia 
GeForce graphics, but the Samsung series 9 should be more than 
adequate.  If you get one, please run Chimera's Tools / Utilities / 
Benchmark tool and submit the results, so the Chimera benchmark page, 
http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/wiki/benchmarks, will show the 
relative performance.
