Intel driver downloads: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx?iid=gg_support-EN_01+home_downloadctr
For Intel graphics, as stated above, the performance is not likely to be good, almost to the point of making it not worth the effort.

I had no idea Intel had released (beta) drivers with OpenCL support, and I even try to keep myself informed since I use OpenCL myself. Apparently Intel didn't release said drivers with much fanfare, I can't even find any information about it when searching.

Sorry for the misinformation though. Guess it is possible, but unlikely to be very effective.

The sandy bridge GMA HD 3000 and 2000 have beta support for OpenCL. Someone tested the HD 2000 and posted results in the wiki, but its very slow.

Makes sense.  High speed 3d graphics have never been a strong point for Intel.

No Intel graphics cards to date have supported OpenCL, so I don't think that will be possible.

Hi.
I have a laptop with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD installed. Is it possible to use this for mining? A cpu-miner on this machine does about 4 Mhash/s. I assume GMA would do better than that.
I've searched the forum but not seen anything about it.
