does it work fine in 3D games or GL screensaver?

The performance of the GMA 950 is pretty low. Probably good enough
for Beryl and some older games, but too slow for newer stuff. Even
planetpenguin-racer will probably be a problem at higher resolutions,
but might work fine at lower resolutions or lower bpp.

Glxgears is not a very representative benchmark, but to give you an
idea, here's what <http://free3d.org/> lists for some graphics cards
with free drivers at 24bpp:

fps card
6295 Radeon X850XT
3503 Radeon 9250
1500 Intel G965 (GMA3000)
1467 Intel 945G (GMA950)

A good reason to buy such a board is to support a hardware company
that supports free software by providing the necessary hardware
information and some manpower.
