    Get either of these (all at least 128MB): nVidia Go5700[ :)], ATI Mobility Radeon 9600[ :p], Mobility Radeon 9700[ :D], or wait for the ATI X600 PCI Express[ :p]

    It depends on which games you are trying to play. For most newly released games, this solution will not even play the game. For older or less complex games, however, it should run at least decently.

    If you can, you definitely want to move up to another integrated solution such as the ATI 9000 IGP, which offers much better performance. However, the best solution for heavy graphics and gaming use will always be a dedicated solution.
