Both of those graphics cards blow and you should have really used your other topic to ask this.

Blow as in terrible. You will need to get a PCI-Express video card for your gaming needs.

Looking on the basic stats it will be fine for renegade but never buy a motherboard with the on-board video in mind. Just plan on buying a new card.

You will never get to play BioShock with a 6150 on board Wink

Probably not on highest settings but it will definitely run it. One of the biggest problems with the 6150 is that its running off shared memory (most of the time) so its pulling from your RAM.

2gb is generally the standard right now but thats standard with your video card having its own memory.

Pretty much any of these will do for now:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=1305520548+10683 10557+106790717&name=GeForce+7+series

If your on vista you should probably get a Dx10 card. Some people prefer to get a $400 video card, like a 8800 but I just get something that will do the jab without a 8800 price tag.

From the looks of things, you are looking at buying a laptop. When buying a laptop it is important to go with a good video card now when planning to game, rather than later. (You will pay immensely) Go with one of the Nvidia Go Series, something 7800+ would be good. Remember, this will up the cost of your laptop, buy if you plan to use it for gaming, there is not much of a choice.

Oh hell (didnt notice the "go"), if your buying a laptop then yes do as Shadowfalls says. I thought you were putting together a desktop computer. If your planning on gaming, desktop is the way to go. Laptops cost 2-4x as much and cant be upgraded afterwards. (for the most part)

On my HP Dv9000t I have a GeForce Go 7600 512mb card and its holding its own.

The ones he mentioned are for a desktop. As you were not originally clear on what you wanted and not everyone can tell from what you mentioned, he didn't know.

You can't just put a new video card into a laptop, you need to choose it ahead of time with this.

A Geforce Go 7600 should even do the job pretty well for you.

First of all, if you are browsing for computer parts, use newegg.com

Second, that is a video card for a desktop computer, you aren't going to find any for laptops.

When you buy the laptop you need to preconfigure it with the video card you want. That is the issues with laptops, they have a far more limited upgrade capability than desktops.
