In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon HD 2400 Series are significantly better than the Intel G43 Express Chipset.
The G43 Express Chipset was released over a year more recently than the HD 2400, and so the G43 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 G43 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 G43 Express Chipset does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The G43 Express Chipset requires 24 Watts to run and the Radeon HD 2400 Series requires 25 Watts. The HD 2400 requires 1 Watts more than the G43 Express Chipset to run. The difference is not significant enough for the HD 2400 to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the G43 Express Chipset.

| Mini Review | Intel G43 Express Chipset comes embedded on the Core 2 Quad/Core 2 Duo CPUS and features an Integrated GPU called Intel GMA X4500. Due to its characteristics (e.g. Shared Memory) the performance is very limited but might be enough to play today's games at low settings excluding, however, very demanding games like Metro 2033 or The Witcher II, that are unplayable, even at the lowest settings. | Radeon HD 2400 Series is not a GPU but instead a combination between Radeon HD 2400 Pro and Radeon HD 2400 XT whose rank is a balance between the two and that exists for System Requirements purposes only. | |||
