It was kind of funny because one of the listed uses on the packaging for the Jetway NC94FL-510-LF mini-ITX motherboard is a gaming system -- it should be clear by now that the Intel Atom D510 processor in conjunction with its integrated GMA 3150 graphics is better suited for only office work. Because it has up to DirectX 9 support and no SM3.0 capability, part of 3DMark06 can't even be run. If you like PowerPoint presentations, the GMA 3150 will deliver the same experience in 3D games as well, haha. Fortunately, the Jetway NC94FL-510-LF actually has a PCIe x16 (x4 electrical) slot, so boosting graphics performance with a low end graphics card is definitely a viable solution.
