MSI S270 GPU question

[WW2Planes1]

I'm trying to figure out what the specs are of the GPU in the MSI S270 Turion laptop.

I know it utilizes the ATI Xpress 200M chipset with "64MB of shared video memory". I was under the impression though that the Xpress 200M actually has dedicated memory that was mirrored in system memory using the HyperMemory technology. Is there any dedicated video memory in this laptop?

And, for those of you who own this laptop, what kind of gaming performance can you squeeze out of it?

Looks like onboard video. 1/2 of the speed of an x300-class GPU. Takes 64MB of memory from your system to use as vram.

Unless you see the word Hypermemory, it is 100% shared.

I was afraid of that. This notebook is looking less and less like the one for me. The GPU is sounding too crippled to be something I'd want to use.
