That's as good as it gets.  I have that chip on my Dell Latitude CPx,
with 8MB of video memory.  It's not designed for heavy video
applications like GLTron or most of the flight simulators.  It works
okay on 2d stuff like DOOM Legacy, Quake and Quake II, and of course
all your production/business applications (OpenOffice, Mozilla,
etc.).  VMware runs with WIN2000 and Visio, but it's pretty slow.

I don't even like running KDE or Gnome on it.  I stick with a
lightweight window manager and it's noticeably faster.
