    According to intel's page.. the integrated card can't run HL2.

    Why would you get a intel GMA 950 on a m1210 when you want to play HL2 anyway?

    That's better. The Go7400 will be able to play HL2 more than decently. :)

    You'll be able to run it from med to high setting with the 7400 of your m1210

    integrated video cards are only good if you are doing basic stuff, and not gaming

    You can actually top out HL2 on the 7400, atleast I can with 40FPS.

    And also, yes, the GMA950 can run HL2. Just in Dx7 mode, rather then Dx9 - this is why it is listed as imcompatiable on Intels page.
