Not GPU-z and there is one other i cant remember but i think it starts with an L. They dont read the intel cards right. I'm using GMA booster and I dont feel like its running so I wanted to test it.

The intel chipsets are always underclocked, this booster program can temp clock it up to normal or better or whatever untill i reboot. I just wanna test and see where its clocking at.

Pretty sure I've heard of GMABooster blowing up some EEE PCs.
Zarr is right, don't bother benchmarking an integrated GPU. The result will always be "slow".

it doesnt hurt it and it has infact made it run better.

It might make it run slightly better... but then again it might blow up your motherboard. There are limits to what integrated cards can do; even an el-cheapo $20 super low end card (HD4350, etc) will run laps around any integrated Intel GPU.

How can it blow up the motherboard? Its not overclocked. Its just running at normal. They underclock it to support long battery life. It doesnt even get that hot unless I play something hardcore. I was playing Marvel Ultimate alliance and it actually got hot enough to make my leg a little red.

It cannot break from running at its own normal ability.

Never say never, I've heard of it happening. The fact remains that it's only a marginal performance advantage and that you shouldn't expect very much.
