Depends what games you want to play, it will struggle playing the latest generation games at medium/high detail but it will play older games no problem..

Radeon® Xpress 200M is built on a .13-micron process with 350MHz graphics core speed, and 128-bit system memory interface ensuring best-in-class graphics performance with mobile applications.

I use a ATI Radeon 9200 128MB and I use photoshop and macromedia studios and I have never had any lag. games wise mine is a bit crap but for the latest games out you all ways need the top of the range card to get the best effect. but that one you listed should be fine for a casual/intermediate user.

I use Intel 910 integrated graphics on my laptop and a Nvidia Geforce2 MX400 on desktop, so Photoshop etc don't really need that good a graphics card :D

agree, my radeon 9200 was only £35 and that was a couple of years ago, though it isn't great if you don't have a decent processor to work with the memory. Similar thing with win xp it is possible to run it on a system with 400MHz and 128MB but it will be a pig to use.
