In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Intel Q43 Express Chipset are significantly better than the AMD Radeon HD 2400 Pro.
The Q43 Express Chipset was released over a year more recently than the HD 2400, and so the Q43 Express Chipset is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the HD 2400.
Both GPUs exhibit very poor performance, so rather than upgrading from one to the other you should consider looking at more powerful GPUs. Neither of these will be able to run the latest games in any playable way.
The HD 2400 has 256 MB video memory, but the Q43 Express Chipset does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The HD 2400 has 40 Shader Processing Units but the Q43 Express Chipset does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The Radeon HD 2400 Pro requires 20 Watts to run but there is no entry for the Q43 Express Chipset. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the HD 2400, but we do not have a recommended PSU wattage for the Q43 Express Chipset.

| Mini Review | Intel Q43 Express Chipset comes embedded on the Intel Core 2 Quad/Core 2 Duo CPUS and features an Integrated GPU called Intel GMA X4500. Various Intel Chipsets come with the Intel GMA X4500 but this one (and the Q45) seem to deliver the best performance. However, due to its characteristics (e.g. Shared Memory) the performance is still very limited but might be enough to play today's games at low or medium settings excluding, however, very demanding games like Metro 2033 or The Witcher II, that are probably unplayable, even at the lowest settings. Note 1: Intel GMA X4500 does support DirectX 10 but even the most forgiving games might be unplayable due to the demand level. | Radeon HD 2400 Pro is an entry-level GPU based on the 65nm variant of the second unified shader architecture, R600. It's based on the RV610 Core and offers 40 Shader Processing Units, 4 TMUs and 4 ROPs a 64-bit memory interface of standard DDR2. The central unit runs at 525MHz and the memory clock runs at up to 400MHz. It's therefore a higher clocked Radeon HD 2350 Pro and should only be somewhat faster. Today's games only playable at unattractive resolutions and using low (most likely) or medium (maybe) presets. Its performance, is however, quite superior to the integrated Radeon HD 2100. DirectX 11 games aren't supported. | |||
