EDIT:
@staticx576: You have yet to provide me with your statistics on the x3000. You have given me nothing to work with. I've done plenty of research. And yes, I do believe $150 (new) is "in the hundreds".

I compare a graphics card to a notebook because I'm saying you could spend the money on a graphics card or buy a whole 'nother computer (which with some very small fixes, btw, could play H2V itself) for the same price.
So now you have two bad computers instead of one capable of running H2V!

With Intel's x3000, the CPU does none of the work.. The only part of the system being used is RAM, and if you have enough to begin with, it doesn't matter.
Google search, do some research and you will discover that intels drivers are still very immature and some of the proccesses still have to be done on the CPU, but hey, I said that already, unless of course intel has fixed this.

I'm only adding the clock speeds for the speed when actually doing something. Playing a game that runs on a single thread is much different, and I understand that, but having two 1.6 ghz processors when multitasking is like have a 3.5 ghz processor. When you emulate rendering with a CPU (also known as a reference graphics device) the highest FPS you can get is around 2-3 (and do NOT try to argue that, I know, I write games)
Look here, I can write games too: GAMES
There. impressed?
You still do not get it do you, it's not like having a 3.5 ghz proc since a dual core runs threads in parallel and thus each thread will still get done at the speed of 1.6 ghz, it wont make the threads complete twice as fast. You can do more at the same time, not something twice as fast.
When did I say a CPU would perform well? I said quite the opposite I believe.

THE INTEL GRAPHICS MEDIA ACCELERATOR X3000 WILL PLAY HALO 2 VISTA. Period.
So will my CPU but I want decent performance.
