Sandy Bridge IGP test request

I would very much appreciate if anyone who has one of the new Sandy Bridge processors could test the integrated graphics with Age of Empires 3 or Battle for Middle Earth 2. It would be nice to know what settings, resolution, and FPS.

Also, a Google Earth test with 3D buildings in New York, Chicago, or some other big city would be interesting.

Thanks :)
 
Anyone? (Doesn't have to be those games, but I am most familiar with those. All the Anandtech tests of Sandy Bridge are for new games. If someone could draw a comparison between the requirements of the ones he listed to the ones here, that would be good too.)
 
I do think those games will run fine, even on high settings

Age of Empire 3 and Middle Earth 2 are very old games

And let me remind you that Sandy bridge processors that have K at the end like i7 2600K or i5 2500K has HD3000 graphics while non-k models have slower HD2000 graphics
 
I expect that they will run (unless there are driver issues). I just don't know if they will require low settings or a low resolution.

Seems that the 3000 is almost as good as the ATI 5450, so comparisons with that could also be useful.
