I don't see Texture and Lighting in there anywhere, so it may or may not.

Just a tip, shared RAM sucks, and never buy an ATI card.

What's wrong with ATi? Aside from the shitty linux drivers.

[Feba]

Shitty linux drivers, mediorce windows drivers, and nVidia has just been so much better at everything in my experience.

yeah the X300 will play, but i wouldn't expect it to be terribly fast. and shared RAM does indeed suck
