GeForce Go 6200 + Gaming = Good to Go?

AOE3 will probably do just fine as that is made to run ok on integrated graphics which are a piece compared to any video card.

So, to answer you're question, a 6200 Go is a passable or ok choice for a budget gamer. Laptop gaming is hard to get at good framerates anyway, so just don't expect miracles. I've got a MacBookPro with a x1600 256MB and it runs Source at 1440x900 with bloom and high settings with no AA and 4xAF. I get about 30fps that way. So even the best laptops arent that great with games.

Are you fucking kidding me.

First off, of fucking course an X1600 card is going to do better than a 6200, the X1600 is a more recent chipset.

However, the 6200 chipset isn't so far behind that it's going to do terrible with games practically made during it's generation. It shouldn't do "just OK," it should be "easilly just fine."

Jam it back in, in the dark.
