    I'm thinking of getting the HP DV2020CA but one thing concerns me. Being an avid Sims 2 player, I need a laptop that's at least capable of playing the game at native res. Is the GeForce 6150 (no dedicated RAM) fast enough for such a task? I'd also be playing adventure games like Dreamfall. Would the integrated part be able to handle the game? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks. :)

    Intel GMA 950 maxes out Sims 2 on my friends E1505 minus the AA, so the 6150 should be ok for it.

    6150 has a DEDICATE GPU processor, it's just using shared video memory.

    It's performance is lower than those real dedicate cards, but that's way more than enough for sim 2.

    Shouldn't have any problems running the Sims 2 on the Go6150. It has about the same performance as the Radeon X200M.

    Basically these GPUs are heavily optimised for that type of game.
