do you know if the 946 chips have the tearing issue? I'm looking to
build a mATX based Core 2 Duo frontend for my dad and would like to
get one with on board graphics and since none of the Core 2 Duo boards
have nvidia chips yet it looks like I'm stuck with a GMA950 (or 3000
if that will work.

thanks!
