Intel GMA900 on "Sonoma" notebook

[pkchen]

Hi everyone,

I was looking into buying a new Intel "Sonoma" notebook ... particularly the Dell Latitude D410 and was just trying to get more information on its graphics capabilities ... I know it uses the Intel GMA900, but I don't know if this supports FSAA or AF? Any ideas?

Thanks

I don't know if it supports that, but the chip will not be powerful enough to make use of it if it could.

GMA900 is nearly useless, so I don't know that I'd be worried about AF or FSAA.

AF might be passably fast, but AA on an IGP at typical laptop res? Probably not. If so, only if the MB supports and has dual-channel memory mode enabled.

AF yes, AA no.

Why exactly did you resurect this and this thread when that person should have been caned for opening two threads for the same thing twelve hours apart?

I'm sure that the "graphics" chip supports AA and AF, but why? There's about 3 games you could play with that, and the most powerful is probably Quake III. Even then, it'll probably chug at 800x600. That's not really worth the time. If you want AA and AF, then look for something a little more powerful. I'm sure that there's a notebook out there that will be about the same price (maybe a bit more), similar specs, that has a better graphics chip. I'd look for something with a Mobility Radeon 9x00 or a GeForce Go (even a GeForce4 Go440 would be better than the GMA900 ).
