(I would like to give my experience gaming on this chipset. It runs higher-end games at low-to-mid settings just fine, about on par with entry level graphics from nVidia and AMD. One thing to keep in mind is that Intel has been stretching performance quite a lot out of their graphics chips by refining the drivers. In Linux, for example, the GEM is letting some of these chips loose on Linux games.) There seems to be an AMD-based version of the L350 series, which I haven't seen for sale anywhere yet, equipped with a Radeon 3100. Most benchmarks put the Radeon about 50% faster than the Intel 4500M, but newer drivers have helped Intel much more than AMD, so updated numbers may not be so different. @George Ou: This Wal-Mart model has a Celeron M 585, and from what I’ve read so far all of the Intel-based models have 4500M.
