[Notebook Video Card] Intel GMA 950?

I will be using Studiotools 13 briefly this semester and I wish to buy a ThinkPad laptop but unfortunately the FireGL version of the T60 is way beyond my reach (not to mention, I don't think I'll be doing much serious 3D). Therefore I am considering the X60 (Intel GMA 950) and the normal T60 (ATi Mobility Radeon X1300/X1400). I don't think a 'gaming card' as the X1300/X1400 will help much with Studiotools. So as long as Studiotools 13 will run with the Intel GMA 950, I would much prefer to buy the X60. (Of course, I am not expecting real-time previews, but as long as most of the major functions work, I will be happy) I think I heard somewhere that Maya needs a dedicated video card (?) and that it won't run on an integrated video card like Intel GMA 950. I don't know why it wouldn't run on an Intel GMA 950.. but is this true?

I would appreciate any help! user added image
