Internal Grapics

We used CrystalMark version 2004R3 to compare the onboard Radeon HD 3000 with the Intel GMA 3100 and GMA X4500, 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 games with the Radeon HD 3000.
