My chip is integrated, but it's close to that one. It's a 4200hd card. |

It works perfectly with the open source (radeon) driver. Compositing |
| 14 |
works ok as well. |

I don't do gaming, though. So can't comment on that. The open source |
| 17 |
drivers is all I would ever recommend for ATi cards. If you plan to |
| 18 |
use proprietary drivers then I'd use some other brand. |
