You get what you pay for. MX is the cheapy chipset of what NVidia puts out, plus ME is bad anyway. But I guess your right, but they didn't really fail, I'm sure they did their best for the entry line of their chipsets.... It's kinda like saying that the Mazda 323 isn't good by comparing it to the 626 or 929.... apples to oranges... But once again your right the MX does kinda suck with OpenGL.
