And the next-generation ION will be nicer still; not so much because 
it's faster (I don't know if it is), but because NVidia has implemented 
seamless switching between the integrated Intel graphics and the ION so 
the GPU is only used when applications need it. In fact it's powered 
down when not in use; there is an NVidia lab demonstration where they 
UNPLUG the GPU from the motherboard when it's not active, then plug it 
back in before running an application that uses the GPU, and it just 
works! (Kids, don't try this at home.)
