Anybody know anything about this? A friend's laptop was lagging. He's got this chip + an AMD Turion X2 in it.

T4 trailer was skipping; I figured the 3100 would be accelerating the video but it wasn't. He didn't have CCC installed, just an April 2008 driver that I guess Vista had.

Is this chip supposed to accelerate video? I thought pretty much everything gen 1x00 and on was supposed to?
If it is I'll go ahead and upgrade it for him, otherwise not.

The 3100 doesn't have the UVD video acceleration chip so AFAIK it can only partially accelerate video playback.
