Is the mobility radeon x1400 good for any gaming?

Yes it is. And Considering its a laptop, x1400 consumes very little power. So i think u will be able game on the Go. But it still has shared memory so get 1GB or even more RAM for better performance.

Well u can get a Geforce 5200FX 128MB or 256MB to get very gud performance. Check out nvidia website for more details

I'm using a Gateway 7510gx, and damn is it good.  Plays Half-Life 2 perfectly, and it only cost $1000 brand new at best buy.

Mmm, don't really have enough information to tell you exactly how big of a difference. For example: some of the geforce 7900 cards are 256mb, some are 512mb. Either way, you're likely at least doubling your video memory, and going from agp to pci-ex, correct? It would make a huge difference, but Oblivion is a resource hog. It would be much smoother, but it wouldn't be perfect.

When you say "suitable for gaming", what type of games are you looking at playing?  The really high-end first-person titles like Half-Life 2, Fear, Everquest II etc probably have hardware requirements that far exceed what you've got.   \n\nMost of the high-end gaming cards that offer dual outputs are PCI-Express these days (rather than AGP) and generally have dual-DVI.  The most common configuration is still one VGA and one DVI output port, and you can use a $5 adapter.\n\nThere are a number of older AGP cards that have dual VGA outputs like the GeForce 5200 and ATI Radeon 7000 series, but those aren't fast enough for the newest games.   However, they will handle games like StarCraft, the Sims, and watching photos & video clips just fine.  That might be a good choice for what you're doing.

If you prefer ATI then that would be a good ideea. The fact that it has low rating on amazon it's only because this video processor is 1-2 years old, and will soon dissapear from the market. If you want an opinion I don't say that this modell has nothing to give, on the contrary! I saw what this processor is capable of and it's worth buying it!\nThe alternative for ATI is nVidia, of course. From GeForce 6600 to 7800 (the newest processor compatible with AGP)... Depending on what you want from it. X800 XT compares with 6800 GT, but unfortunately it has lower performaces than it, but nothing that you'll recognize during today's games!

not much. spend about 30 bucks more and get a 6600GT 128meg card. works with all games. very nice for the price. go to www.newegg.com  they have the best deals.

Very, very bad answer from that last guy, very bad.  That is an integrated card that was not meant for gaming.  Anyway, there is really nothing you can do, laptops are not easily upgradeable like desktops.  This laptop was not designed for gaming, and there is really nothing you can do to change that.  Sorry.

A Radeon X700 is still a fairly current card;  the next generation of ATI cards (x1600) for that level don't offer any major performance benefits.  I'd suggest waiting at least another 6 months before looking for a card, so prices on GeForce 6800s and 7800s can come down in price.

Yes, depending on the nature of the games you will want to get a card appropriate for them.  You can spend anywhere between $69 and $300 for a video card/tv tuner card.  So, there are five choices, not extensive I know but the best I could do.  The first one is a 64MB Geforce4 MX440 with TV tuner for $69.  Definitely not something you want if you want to play modern games.  The next one is a ATi All-in-Wonder 9600XT with either 128MB of memory for $166 or a 256MB version for $177 (between those two I would spend the extra $11 for double the memory).  Then you have your choic of a AGP or PCIe 256MB Radeon X800XT card for $259 and $269 respectively.\n\nWhat is it exactly that you want to do?\n\nSee them all here, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?submit=PROPERTY&SubCategory=48&propertycodevalue=695:9635&bop=and&order=priced

depends on what games you are looking to run. Overall not a bad machine, should run most games out there fairly well.

if you want to play any highend pc games ... then yes .. for everyday computing and picture viewing or watching movies shared graphics are fine ...

check and compare specs and prices. know what you want your card to do. i picked up a nvidia geforce 6600gt for around your price and it works fine for me. i also understand if i want to play some of the newer games coming out i might need to get a better card. but for now this one does great for me. keeps up with multiplayer games and works great when i play games offline. \n\n   look at whatever games you have or are going to get and see what they recommend, and get a card a little better then what they recommend so it isn't obsolete to soon.\n \n   P.S. check out  www.newegg.com  there prices are good and ships fairly fast. also you can compare and read others views on the items you are looking at.

It's worth it now, however, if you're a serious gamer, then no card will stay relevent for four years. If you're a gamer, you'd be better off going with at least a 6800GT, as that will give a little more "head room" than a 6600GT.\n\nIf you're not a gamer and you just want it for high definition content, etc., then it should last several years.\n\nNote: It may or may not be adequate for the upcoming Windows Vista in full Aero Glass mode though.

not directly, only in case of simultaneous graphical output on the screen. onboard graphics accelerators (like Intel media accelerator 900 and 950) are pretty bad for gaming because they use the main memory and have no dedicated memory. this cost a lot of access time via the northbridge.
