Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3000

Is this good enough to run games that are coming out these days? Or at least games like counter strike source, grand theft auto: san andreas?Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3000
Hahahahah, wait, you're joking right?Stay away from integrated graphics by all means. In order to play games you need a dedicated graphics card that goes in either an AGP (older, slower) slot, or a PCI express (newer, faster, more supported).Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3000
And to answer your question, you might be able to play pong with that.
I really love how people answer peoples questions without really giving them their answer. Since the X3000 adds in hardware T%26L units, pixel shaders, vertex shaders, you can get away with it, it will play San Andreas perfectly fine. CSS should run alright as well, but if that doesn't work out for you, you could always upgrade to a dedicated graphics card. Assuming you already have a computer with the X3000, if you are out looking for a new computer that can play these games I would suggest looking elsewhere.
Intel has never elected to set any IGP core clock to a speed that matches to the typical 3D animation requirement. They only last fall finally added T%26L to the X3000, but to none other of their IGPs. This was nearly eight years after T%26L was standard.
