    As Im shopping for a small budget,gaming-capable laptop(yes really hard to shop for indeed xD), I always come across Laptops with Radeon HD 4200.

    Of course, I know Intergrated Video Cards like the HD 4200 arn't good at all to play games. But I seem to have found a different version of HD 4200 with 256mb of Dedicated Memory :D Dunno if its lies,or Im misunderstanding,can anyone confirm?(Scroll down the page at Specs)

    If your too lazy =P
    Graphics Description: Dedicated Graphics
    GPU/VPU: ATI Radeon HD 4200
    Video Memory: up to 1919MB of HyperMemory™ (256MB dedicated)


    That said, if the card actually has 256mb of dedicated memory,does that mean it will run any game my current Desktop can(My desktop also have a video card with 256mb of d.memory [x1600 Pro])

    Amount of memory is not an indicator of the power of a GPU. Read the stickies.
