    Curious if you tried any games on the X3100.

    Thanks,

    Well... if you're asking if the X3100 can handle games... it can. It has something like 8mb on-board, with up to 254 shared RAM. If you've got enough RAM, your GPU should take a piece of that into its vRAM. You could probably play BF2 at medium-ish settings. Don't expect any hardcore good-lookin' Crysis, though.

    I don't think X3100 has any onboard memory!

    No, the X3100 does have some. Either 4 or 8mb. Otherwise it'd be pointless to even have a graphics accelerator. Well, not really, but... meh.

    And yeah, PM him. If someone made a topic "Romanian, have you ever watched The Simpsons?" I don't know if I would answer or not.

    Hi Guys - I've been away the last day and a half so today I should be able to install some games. I was going to do UT2004 and Half-Life 2. The latter probably won't finish downloading until tomorrow though.
