    i might be getting a Sony VAIO with
    intel Core 2 Duo T7100
    2GB ram
    200GB HD
    and the GMA X1300

    if i do get this, ill be doing a lil gaming
    which includes
    warcraft 3
    gunz
    cs
    and i wana play the new command and conquer 3
    is the graphic card good enough for this?
    i've been reading and it seems that the GMA X1300 might be a good video card depending on situation. is this true?

    I do believe that the 3100 will play all of those, probably pretty decently. Except for CnC3, you may need to run that on lower settings or lower resolutions. Otherwise you should be good to go.

    counter strike 1.6, not counter strike source.

    warcraft III will be fine.

    gunz- most likely fine.

    command and conquer III - very poor performer at best. it might run, but it will be very slow.

    Those posting about CandC3 are wrong, it will run fine and at full speed. Even the GMA900 and 950 can run it without any issues at lower settings. If you're confident that those are the limit of what you'll be playing, then yes it'll good enough for what you want.

    And it will play CS:source, albeit on low settings.
