    does anyone know whether this video card (come with I6000) is powerful enough to play these games:
    - the latest MVP/NHL, etc (Sports games)
    - rollercoaster tycoon 3

    I know that I could go with i6000d whihc has a 128MB ATI's Mobility® Radeon™ x300. But it costs $400 more (In Canada).

    Thanks

    James

    Yes, the GMA900 will suffice for the games you'vementioned, albiet you may have to scrifice a few graphics details.

    RC3 will be choppy, its not a very optimized game, you'll be able to play it though, x300 not worth $400.
