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 works ok as well. I don't do gaming, though. So can't comment on that. The open source drivers is all I would ever recommend for ATi cards. If you plan to use proprietary drivers then I'd use some other brand. -- Jesús Guerrero Botella
