    I am interested in buying a laptop for hubby and it has Radeon Xpress 200M
    shared video 32 MB ram shared video 128MB ram(max). Will this be good for playing most games on the market?

    Most? well....not MOST but......some....or maybe few...the X200m 128MB will run most older games...but not many new ones......but the X200m 32MB is just going to plain suck!




    i would suggest you atleast get an ATIx1400 or NvIdia GeForce Go7400...................AT THE VERY LEAST for a decent gaming xperience...

    for optimal gamming experience get a Go7600 or X1600

    For MAX Xperience get a Go7900GS or 7900GTX (only in 17 inchers)

    First off your awsome for doing this. My wife would never ask about this for me (cries a little bit). What is the price of the lappy? Im sure we can find something a little more suiting in your price range.

    It'd probably be a good idea if you filled out the notebook FAQ, what you could anyway, I'm not entirely sure if you know exactly what he wants, but it'd better help give us an idea of what would be ideal for your situation.
