It performs on GeForce MX 200-400 level, depending on configuration. Not much faster by desktop standards, but it's by far the most powerful chip for laptops.

What do you mean on config this would be running behind a 1ghz p3...

[Sugadaddy]

It depends on the amount of ram used and if it uses a 64-bit or 128-bit path to memory...

 

[nateholtrop]

256mb ram dunno about the path

I got my Dell Inspiron 8000 with a GeForce 2GO 32MB about a week ago and I am very happy with the performance. It is not as fast as my desktops ATI Radeon 64MB but it runs everything I want it to run. 3D Mark 2000 runs very smooth. 3D Mark 2001 runs reasonably smooth. So far I would highly recommend it.

It's pretty poor in comparison to modern high end desktop chipsets. But for laptops it's the best out there by a wide margin, for now at least.

Would it be possible for you to provide some 3DMark scores? What CPU do you have?

I'm pretty sure that a Go is slower than a regular GF2 MX.
