256MB ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® X1400 HyperMemory

Anyone have this card?  How is it?  I am not planning on playing the most high end games, but maybe old school half life one, or maybe half life 2 on low settings.  Diablo 2 for sure.  What do you think?  I will order with a gig of Ram and Dual Core Inspiron 9400.

i'm sure it will run older games without too much issue.  hyper-memory means that it's using a mixture of dedicated and shared system memory though -- just something to keep in mind.

Honestly I'm having mixed feelings about this card. It runs Maplestory... but it can't seem to run any emulators. Any emulators ran on my system and my gf's system on this card has bad horizontal fuzzes running across the screen. For a 2200 laptop. I expected much better. I have a friend with a Inspiron 6000 with the integrated dell graphics and it could run the emulators. I hope this can be fixed if not I wonder if I should complain or not. :(

Yea the x1400 isnt a horrible card, even the 64mb x300 ran battlefield 2 at medium detail and 800x600 smoothly

After failing to get new drivers on the ATI website I went and found 3rd party drivers for the card from Omega and it fixed all my problems. The x1400 isn't as bad as people say it is after all. The drivers were the culprit. After looking at the benchmarks online the x1400 isn't too bad a card. It's also been able to handle everything I throw at it. Unreal 2004, CS, Halo, Starcraft, Maple Story, and pretty much every emulator, granted changing to Omega drivers made all the difference in the world.
