Newer Gnome on older laptops?

[Tim]

Narcis,
 I just wanted to see the "OpenGL renderer string" entry, from that
  You are using radeon FOSS drivers.
  I think Patrik is using catalyst/fglrx? if so Patrik I suggest you atleast try with radeon, it can in some cases on older cards give better
performance in gnome-shell, and best cases up to 80% for high depend open GL loads (which gnome-shell certainly is not high demand)
