Answer 1

you dont have a video card in that. your video is intergrated onto the motherboard. i would give it a 0. you will not be able to play very many games on that if at all.

Answer 2

You can look here:

That is rated pretty low at a class 5.

What games are you looking to play with it?

Is this in a laptop you are looking at, or already own?

Answer 3

Sorry, but I winced when I saw 945GM. I think that means you have a GMA 950, which is barely fit for todays edutainment childrens software. In fact, it even sputters a bit with Aeroglass. Not sure, but I'd guess it's probably on par with the cheapest of the ancient Geforce MX-series value cards of 2002.

Can it play some games? Yes, things like Quake III or Tuxracer will run on it; basically anything made during or prior to 2003 is game excluding a few monster titles like Doom III. Look to 2D things like RPGs and "laptop game" titles like word puzzles.

Sorry, but thems the knocks, and this is why people advise against buying laptops for even the simplest of games.
