Default Messed Up Graphics Driver - Acer 2920Z with a T3400 and GL960 (GMA X3100)

Hi everyone, i bought my laptop last week its a Acer 2920Z with a T3400 and GL960 (GMA X3100). I decided to update the drivers on my laptop but after I did that, my Vista Graphics rating went down from 3.0 to 2.6 also on the gaming graphics section it went from 3.2 to 3.1, I'm scared that my graphics has went worse, any ideas ? Also on Srtest it used to say i have 320mb of Graphics Ram but now its down to 123mb, even though on DXDIAG it says i have 251mb. Its really wierd, I dont want my graphics to go worse. On my old laptop i had the same specs and same drivers apart from CPU (which was a Celeron) and i still got 3.1. Any help please Should i roll back the driver ? the problem is the old driver has Vertex Shader and HW T&L disabled, where as on the new one its enabled.

Those numbers don't matter and video memory is shared memory so that number doesn't really matter either.
