Dell with Radeon Xpress 1150 256 mb gaming?

I want a Dell laptop with XP but the only affordable option is a 1501. Thats a good size but the only available video card is the ATI Radeon Xpress1150 256mb hypermemory. This laptop will see some light gaming, probably with games that are a few years old, with the most demanding being Half Life 2.

Will this video card be able to run games respectably? If it helps I've set up the computer with the AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60 (2.0GHz/1MB) and 2GB DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHZ.

Thanks for the help in advance

I would expect little to no gaming the x1150 is a horrible gaming solution. Have you considered a Dell outlet system? ther every affordable and you can usually find one with a Radeon x1400 or Geforce 7300 to configure.

I agree, a 1505 from the outlet would be a much better solution. OR the vostro 1500 with the "smart value package" is only $580 and comes with a core 2 cpu, 1gb ram, 120gb hdd, dvd+rw, and the geforce 8400M gs, which, while not a powerful graphics card itself, is MILES ahead of what you were looking at getting.
