Is a 256 integrated video card good enough to play halo 2 and half-life in vista?

i know that integrated sux more than a discrete, or partially discrete laptop. i wanna know if the integrated graphics are enough to play what a discrete video can play with the same quality and stuff like that. and tell me which is better: ATI RADEON Xpress 256MB hyper memory -=OR=- the 256 MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 turbo cache.|||256 megabytes is only part of the equasion. The NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS can handle the games that you mention.|||I use a Geforce 7600, so the 7300 should work pretty much just as well as mine. (I like mine) 256 memory might be a little low though I run 2 gigs - but I play MMO's. The game box should have reccomeded stats, I think the video cards should both be able to handle it.|||Christ, thats like asking whats better, spam or spam

Both of these card use system memory instead of dedicated memory

so neither is going to be a speed demon.



yeah, the geforce should play it, but it's not gonna be super resolution or high framerates. in fact, the framerates are going to be pretty low



The ATI might play it, depending on which xpress chip you have. the 1100 will work, but again, it's going to be painfully slow. the xpress 200 would be like watching paint dry.



If you want to play any games at all, you need a laptop with dedicated video memory, not borrowed memory|||nVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 TC is Better because the TurboCache technology in nVIDIA is better than Hyper Memory in ATi. Go 7300 TC will run most of new games but not at the High Settings.
