X4500HD? Whats this onboard graphics like?

[bloodline76]

My friend just picked up a new laptop and has this graphics card in it, what could you actually play with it. Any modern games?

I cant seem to find how much memory it has.

Thanks

It's an Intel chip, which means it's rubbish

Should only handle basic games at low settings due to its 10 stream processors, but it will deal with bluray playback fine.

According to here, it may have as much as 512mb of memory.

It'll probably handle Steam games fine, don't expect much from L4D or TF2. I managed to get HL2 and CS:S running well on a GMA X3100 (Dell Inspiron 1520) but as soon as you threw any pixel shading it's way it started to chug hard.

It'll run Command and Conquer Generals actually now I think about it too.

It looks like it shouldn't be that bad from its specifications.

In actuality it's a right POS.

Yeah didnt expect much but its not bad as its only going to be used for internet and occassional film.

I wonder if it would run Arma2 as Im at work with both laptop and game? lol

My HTPC has that graphics chipset. Does ok at lower res and plays back HD with no issues whatsoever.
