    According to Wikipedia's "Comparison of ATI GPUs" page, the X2500 is a "Remarked X1700". Supposedly it has a 128 bit memory bus, but sometimes some notebook manufacturers may only give you a 64 bit bus.

    I have at test ACER TravelMate 5720G-302G16 with X2500. Everest says - 12 pixel and 5 vertex shader units and memory bus 128-bit.

    Performance (with T7300 and 2GB RAM) at 1024x768:

    Benchmarks
    3DMark05: 4293
    3DMark06: 2360

    Games with full details
    Enemy territory 2.6: 57,2 fps
    FEAR 1.8: 43 fps

    It is just a X1700. Just like the X2300 is a X1300.
