    3d intensive anything thats above the level of C&C 3 graphics you should avoid.
    no it does not have dedicated memory.
    Lithius have already told you what you can't. New 3d shooters are out of question FEAR, DOOM 3 Quake 4 unless you like everything on minimum.
    But you have dual core and 2 gb ram so you can still play new games(RTS, Puzzle....) that do not require any dedicated graphics.

    you can't play any new games from this month. at least one to half year month old games would run except the minor lags sometimes. there is dedicated mem on the x1100 and could enable share ram boostng your vid ram about 2times the one you have but not much difference

    lol

    x= xpress series

    only a shortcut ;)

    sorry m8 but that card wasn't made for gaming.

    EVen if it had dedicated ram it is missing vertex and pixel shaders so it would be almost uselles, apart from slowing down the system
