    I had a couple of questions about this graphics card. I have tried to do some research but there just doeskin seem to be any information. I was wondering if this was an integrated graphics card. Also I was wondering is it able to play anything at all. Sorry Im pretty new

    Im looking for some more information on this card aswell. From my understanding, this card is not an integrated graphics card, and is not a heavy duty gaming card aswell, although you can still play games on it, althought definetly not on highest settings for next-gen games like crysis.

    It's not an integrated card. The 9300M GS is a low end dedicated card with the emphasis on low end.

    It's really only a step above an integrated IGP's performance and actually good IGPs such as the 9400M GS or the HD3200 can equal(and even outperform in some scenarios) this GPU in terms of performance.

    It can run most games, but really don't expect too much from the thing. Probably low/medium settings on most game short of anything 3 years old.

    I have an Asus N10J with the Atom CPU and 9300m GS. I agree it isn't really a "gaming" card per se, but it will play many new games just fine. Granted in my case the Atom is the bottleneck, but I can play Battlefield 2, Dead Space, Fallout 3, Tomb Raider Underworld just fine thank you. Most on medium settings, minus the heavy stuff like shadows. In most cases there isn't a lot of visual difference that I can tell.

    zzzzzzzzzz I'd really want a N10J myself... :D

    The card is pretty ok, it's just the 1.6ghz Atom with L2Cache:512kib is really

    not "fast" enough for "new" games

    that n10j is good for like valve games on the go and maybe 2 year old games i mean you can still play like halo 1 and 2 for pc

    Also you can play most MMO games on the go.

    Which should be great.
