    Let's see the video cards in a laptop. Which one allows gaming? My games that I play are the followings: 1. Heroes of Might and Magic V and add-ons, 2. Age of Empires 3 and add-ons, 3. FIFA Manager 08 & 4. FIFA Manager 09. I would like to buy also Red alert 3 but I don't know that it's going to work.
    1 . Ati Radeon 3100
    2 . Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD
    Is there any other laptop video card that could handel all these games and not to be expensive?
    Many thanks! :)

    The Radeon 3100 would be the better choice for light gaming.

    What kind of budget are you on? Sometimes it's possible to find some mainstream dedicated GPUs for a decent price. It'd be preferable to using an integrated chip.

    The 3100 should work fine for those games.
