Laptop with X3100 video and no dedicated video can't play fullHD mpeg4?

Question

why was that? the screen is all green if being played laptops (acer 16in and Toshiba 15.4in )with X3100 and no deicated memory. Even my HP tx1320 with NVIDIA 128 MB dedicated memory can play it smoothly. Should I not get those Toshiba and Acer ? I just need to get any laptop at least with above ATI2000 and Nvidia 6000?

Answer 1

The Intel X3100 is better performing than an actual nVidia GeForce 6000 (or the 6150 of the HP tx1320 which lacks dedicated memory).

The GeForce Go 6150 integrated graphics though does have nVidia PureVideo which is probably helping with the playback while the Intel X3100 doesn't have anything to assist in the playback.

Still, I'd be looking at the software as well since I'd expect really bad playback, not a green screen from graphics hardware that can't provide enough assistance.
