I have run glxgears on my IBM T61 Stinkpad with Kubuntu 64 with latest 
Nvidia driver (installed today 177.80) NVS 140 graphics chipset I get
6061 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1212.162 FPS
6784 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1356.768 FPS
6795 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1358.998 FPS
5822 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1163.441 FPS
I'm running full GUI eye candy, being a IBM laptop they aren't built for 
graphics performance! I don't think this is too shabby.
