Is it unpromising that my laptop have the Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 video card?

I'm kinda upset because a month after i bought my laptop (hp dv2500t near vista home premium) with the intel x3100, hp give the option of getting the 319MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS video card. Is the intel video card fruitless if i dont do much gaming? Is it bad if I do do some gaming? is it worth wish i had the the nvidia card or is the intel one righteous enough?

Answer:
The Intel card, to put it plainly, blows chunks when it comes to gaming. For non-gaming it's okay.

EDIT: Supposedly the most up-to-date one is actually DX10 compatible, i.e. it'll run Windows Vista Aero. Still, compared to what's be available for years it's rather lousy.

See if your credit card have some sort of satisfaction guarantee that you can return it and find the other one.
intel literally sucks off system resources, a NIGHTMARE for a gamer and its clothed for 2d productivity.

EDIT: actually hear thath as transformation and lighting and some pixel pipelines and a decent core clock, might be capable of handle some stuff suitably
Intel is great I'm INtel all the method for my Desktops and laptops. I do gamming and also I do movie editing so if your what a hard in-bit accl. later Intel is your thing. Make sure beside Vista your using the most recent updated drive. www.window.com/vista/intel:dr...
If it isn't giving you any problems then it's not unpromising. On the other hand hp may be have some sort of dispute with Intel and they may no longer contribute support IE driver updates. I prefer Nvidia graphics cards, but don't like anything hp.
To answer your question.
1. Intel video card is not bad if you don't do much gaming, but you own a large RAM.
2. It's really impossible if you do some gaming. Very bad graphics and slow running for recently developed games.
3. Wishing doesn't cost a piece, but it sure is worth wishing to own had the Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS video card fairly than the intel GMA.
If you wish.
