    I just downloaded it and installed it. Not much improvement but playing 720p youtube videos I could note some better performance. Video is smoother but the cpu ussage is really high, what means that hardware acceleration is not working even when it´s enabled. Windows evaluation didn´t change at all: aero desktop shows 4,5 and games performance shows 2,3. Hopefully they wouldn´t stop improving the driver until it shows some decent performance.

    No it isn't. It's actually certain GMA drivers, or it can be a result of a bug. Either way there's no performance impacts.

    Actually aero looks super fluid and smooth but that's even before this driver. It might have to do something with the bios. I'm using 3212 bios version. Graphics evaluation shows 2,3 and I can tell you it's crap. No improvement in that area. There have been a lot of discussion out there about the 4,3 evaluation in aero performance and some people is getting that kind of score. For some reason, some people got lucky and it's everything but a bug because the performance it's great. Aero looks awesome.
