Best driver sollution for Macbook w. Intel GMA X3100

Hi guys

I'm new here and pretty new to gaming overall. I've been searching the forums but haven't found an answer to my noob question...
I've got a Macbook (white) with Intel GMA X3100 (not the newest with Nvidia 9400). I'm running XP Home as a Bootcamp partition and would like to play a few games. Right now I'm playing Dawn of War Soulstorm and it's running fine while Company of Heroes studders quite a bit whenever something cool happens, even on the lowest settings. Dawn of War 2 won't run at all and crashes after the game has loaded (just after the movie trailer is over). I would be fine with playing on the lowest settings but I can't even get to the start screen. I'm however not sure that the graphic card is the (only) problem, I'm playing the beta as I don't want to throw money at something I can't play.

So my simple question is: What is the best driver sollution for my setup? Is there anything (along the lines of Mobility Modder) that will improve the performance of the games in question? Any help is much appreciated.

Best regards

That graphics solution is just terrible for gaming. I tried playing COD4 and even the old Far Cry on it, but no success. Age of Mythology ran surprisingly well on it though.

Anyway, you can find new drivers for your GPU here: Download Software, Drivers and Utilities Filters
