Playing back a 720p H.264 clip and a 720p YouTube clip isn't a problem for either of our test systems. Important to note, though, that Intel's CULV processor makes light work of the task at hand. AMD's dual-core Athlon Neo X2 remains superior to Intel's Atom, but it's no match for the Core 2-derived CULV.
If Windows 7's performance index is anything to go by, Gaming is where Congo's ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3200 GPU should breeze past Intel's IGPs.
