ok! I got Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas as my "test game" and it works fine, I haven't noticed any lag yet, but the graphics is just a cut above mediocre...it should do though...in some places it seems almost like a cartoon but I can overlook that and pretty much say: all in all it should do fine for now, however when the time comes, I'm ditching this thing and getting a real gaming system...

Did you try pushing the card to its max? Try upping the settings untill it lags or is that what you did?

I don't think you can overclock it.. it seems more like integrated video, but running off PCI-E. The ATI page makes it sound really good, but I think that's just slick writing..

the X200 is not a very powerful card, then agian GTA is not the most demanding game, i played Vice City on an i810 once something like HL2 or FarCry will push that thing to its death. From what I've seen from benchmarks the X200 is well, roughly in the same ballpark as an underclocked 9600. I have a 9700 in my laptop and ugh, it plays GTA just fine @ max settings, FarCry at medium, and HL2 at medium-ish. But screw them all.....currently playing ET which runs flawlessly, then again its a lesser demanding game
