mostly fine
one possible issue is
Graphics AGP 4x and 3D Architecture, MPEG2 and DVD playback, standard 64MB shared w/256MB or more main memory, configurable up to 64MB
share graphics relys on your ram
so this can slow it down
possibly a ram upgrade could fix this
but if you can get the card changed
a larger dedicated one would give you better results :)

the video card? i maxed out the ram :( it only holds 1gb..
but shouldnt it work better than this?:..
