If you're talking about 3D performance, I'm using a GMA X3000 even  
for professional CAD work (Catia on Windows) and the thing is roughly  
as fast as a typical card with 32 MB video memory. The X3000 works  
fine with the i810 driver in Ubuntu, but I didn't check 3D  
performance yet.

So you get reasonable performance for few bucks and you can always  
plug in an additional card later.
