    Hi
    Thinking of buying a new computer with an Intel GNA 4500MHD integrated
    graphic card. Not much for a PC gamer but it would be nice to know. I've searched but I can't find any info on it.

    I am wondering if it could run older games smoothly like Counter Strike and Counter Strike Source and Track Mania?

    My previous laptop had the older GMA 900 and could run CS:S smoothly. So I assume a 4500MHD would be better~ :)

    I reviewed the card; it's better than previous generations of Intel graphics and can play CS: S without issues on mostly high settings (no AA) and a 1024x768 resolution.
