For what this card is, which is a generic card in MOST entry level notebooks running ATI/AMD chip-sets. It is fantastic for playing games, the performance is consistent, heating is not much of a problem if machines designed by intelligent people. Having 6GB+ RAM compliments this well for games.

Yes, but the desktop HD 4250 is still worse than the 8500GT, isn't it? Don't want to look at percentages too much..... :P

It's pretty great, as long as you don't enable antialiasing or V-sync

Yeah, generally I wouldn't set AA too high with this card. Its pixel rate is kinda worthless and that also means that resolution increases will cost you extra performance discreases ;)
