Comparable to nvidia 8400. Only thing is lack of dedicated ram. I didn't see much differnece in windows rating, 3dmark or even games between the two.

how is it when Max ram has been alloted to it ?
How is it compared to x3500 ?
How is x3500 compared to 8400GS and 8300GS ?
How is x3100 compared to 7100GS, 7150GS, 7200GS and 7300GS ?
How are they compared to Radeon HD Series 3400(or what ever it is) and 3340 ?

In simple words, how are GMA X3100 and X3500 compared to current similar budget dedicated cards ?

Don't expect tremendous improvement in performance just coz you've allotted all the RAM! It doesn't make much difference if the gpu is underpowered.

Obivously x3500 > x3100

How is x3500 compared to 8400GS and 8300GS ?
x3500 > 8400 > 8300

How is x3100 compared to 7100GS, 7150GS, 7200GS and 7300GS ?
x3500 > 7300

How are they compared to Radeon HD Series 3400(or what ever it is) and 3340 ?
No idea.
