Internal Grapics

We used CrystalMark version 2004R3 to compare the onboard Intel GMA X4500 with the GeForce 7025, Radeon HD3200, HD4200 and the Radeon 3650(PCI express card) in 2D graphics as well as 3D graphics.

There's no way that you will be able to play a modern game with the Intel GMA X4500, it's even slower then the GeForce 7025.
