Great, thanks! It looks similar to my old NVIDIA 7600GS. And the NVIDIA
ion contained in the 1215N-PU17 might be faster (although the only
difference seems to be DirectX10 support). Enough for VMD in any case.
Just a curiosity: the numbers go down 275 fps (probably after you
maximize) and then go up again to 2427 fps, is that when you switch back
to normal size again?.
