OK here is the catch!!!!!
Ever heard Intel GPU good at 3D games.... C'mon history guys!!!!!
basically Intel GPU suckkked at it!!! Past Present and FUTURE too!!!!
they have D3D and OpenGL but the level Intel GPU support is relatively low and the tweak they offer is limited!!!! and GAMES CANT SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dont believe me try it lah!!!!
now Ever heard Nvidia and ATi Sucked at 3D CARDS!!!!!!!!! no rite!!!!
Nvidia and ATi is the Dominant Player on 3D GPU!!!!
they rock from Day one!!!! and they continue to rocks!!!!!!!!
simple!!!! comparison!!!
Both iGPU and nGPU try install say some HIGH 3D GAMES!!! erm.....
QUAKE4 or NFS Carbon!!!! difference can immediately seen!!! cause!!!
intel GPU can only run on software render mode while!!!
nVidia GPU Running on Hardware OpenGL mode!!!
although performance is abit on the low side (BUDGET$$$)
hey atlease U can RUN the game!!!
Intel some games cant even allowed you to run!!!!
they just prompt a Box say "Biliener or Antalising OPENGL card required"
hahahah then U will bang your head against the wall!!!!! cause U cant change no more!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah...! You're absolutely right! I used to play NFS carbon with NVIDIA 6150.. The result is great no hang at all.. Loading time also fast enough.. Details graphis so smooth.. Like i said before V3... AMD+NVIDIA Spec is yummy... Even it's the best spec at best price item in cheap lappy category on market currently.
DELL AMD Spec also not bad for your info but i just doubt on ATI 1150 performances. Still more trust NVIDIA capabilities, cause i was tested NVIDIA already and appreciated!
CHEERS!

My brand new presario v3222au comes with only 512mb of ram. I'm thinking of upgrading to 1GB but not sure what is the type and model of ram to buy.
I guess buying from hp is going to be much more expensive but if i upgrade myself will i void the warranty?
Good upgrading option..
