    check out this post, some guy has three video's to download showing off the performance of the 6000 with integrated graphics!

    Jeez, and I thought the x300 128 MB would barely be able to play![ :D]

    EDIT:: Keep in mind, this guy was only running 256 TOTAL system memory!

    Not bad for a laptop, IMO, with integrated graphics and only 256 total ram.

    Keep in mind that an 500MHZ desktop will NOT run this game! I've got a 800MHZ athlon here at home and I can hardly run the original Counterstrike online past 800x600. (16 MB Riva TNT2 Video Card) 256 total system ram win 98

    I've got the I6000 with integrated graphics. I've been playing UT2004, HL1, HL2, and Conterstrike. It plays HL1 and CS fine, but HL2 and UT2004 can be choppy. They are still playable by my standards, but it probably wouldn't be acceptable to hardcore gamers.

    The IMA900 graphics probably won't be able to play games that come out a year from now, but neither will the X300. So why spend extra cash for a card that can play today's games ok, but won't be able to play 2006's games?

    BTW, I'm running all those games at either 1024x768 or 1280x800.
