Check this out if you are playing your GOGs on a netbook:
http://www.umpcportal.com/2009/04/gma-booster-increases-your-gma-based-device%E2%80%99s-graphical-performance
It could be really cool, I am downloading it now and will try it out and report back with impressions, but I was hoping someone with more tech knowledge could do a more thorough/scientific review --like with FPS and real numbers!
Update
Descent 2:
It's a DosBox game, so It's pretty processor-heavy. No real performance gain here.
Arx Fatalis: thought I would see something here, but sadly I didn't notice any difference. This is the sort of game i was hoping would get a boost, as It's more modern and on the edge of my netbook's capabilities.
Bullet Candy: this is proof that this program does something. BC went from about half speed to silky smooth 30+ frames. Don't know why this game benefited so much but now I can't beat the awesome score that I got when it was running nice and slow and easy lol.
I am using an eee pc 901.
