In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Intel G43 Express Chipset are significantly better than the AMD Radeon 9000 Series 64MB.
The G43 Express Chipset was released over three years more recently than the 9000 Series, and so the G43 Express Chipset is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the 9000 Series when running the latest games.
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 9000 Series has 64 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 9000 Series has 4 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 but there is no entry for the Radeon 9000 Series 64MB.

| 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. | The Radeon R200 is the second generation of Radeon graphics chips from ATI Technologies. The architecture features 3D acceleration based upon Microsoft Direct3D 8.0 and OpenGL 1.3, a major improvement in features and performance compared to the preceding Radeon R100 design. The GPU also includes 2D GUI acceleration, video acceleration, and multiple display outputs. 'R200' refers to the development codename of the initially released GPU of the generation. It is the basis for a variety of other succeeding products. | |||
