I know it's quite old, so is most of my system. I'm going to take your response as "Intel drivers have improved".
I guess if Compiz says it's good enough it's probably good enough.

Let me put it this way, I was able to play Flatout 2 [not Fallout
] 1024x768 without any problems on GMA X3000 (965G).

EDIT:
Wikipedia specifically says "DirectX9" for GMA 3100, but no mention of DirectX10, Shader Model, or OpenGL 2.1/3.0. Any information on those?

Everything is detailed here:

EDIT2:
Wikipedia again, "FreeBSD 7.0 supports the following Intel graphic chipsets: G965/Q965/GM965/GME965/GME945. Support for G33/Q33/Q35 is also included, but disabled due to lack of testing." Would it be difficult to enable Q35 drivers?

Its pretty old info (from 7.0-RELEASE?) that was about a year ago.

I'm thinking this may be a good motherboard for me: GIGABYTE GA-Q35M-S2
6 SATA, 1 IDE, 2 PCI, 1 16x PCI-e, 1 1x PCI-e, 4 DDR2 memory slots, 6 USB 2.0 ports in the back, etc. Intel Q35 integrated graphics and Realtek ALC888 integrated sound.
Pretty well-rounded for an MATX board.

I have MiniATX POSITIVO/MSI Q35 motherboard, best would be Tyan/Supermicro, but they are too $$$. Generally any Gigabyte, Asus, MSI, Foxconn will do. Just remember to check NIC, to get Intel e1000 instead of some Realtek. I have PSITIVO/MSI and it has Intel e1000 NIC, from what I recall also Asus has it, and of course Intel version of Q35 motherboard, but with Intel, forgot about any O/C
