What card does radeon hd 4200 compare to

3 years ago i bought a new computer to play dragon age. 3 years passed by and year after year the release was delayed. now my computer needs upgrades. ive had a very bad experience adding a graphics card to my system. 8600 gt nvidia that locks up regularly on high end games like world of warcraft. The character generator was available for download a few days ago. Sure enough same problems, lock up before i can get a character created. So now i want to get a machine capable of playing Dragon Age within my low budget. The only thing I have found is the hp pavilion p6320y. amd phenom quad 4, 8 gig ram, but comes with hd 4200 integrated graphics. Will that run a high end game like Dragon Age?

Its actually 4 tiers below the 8600GT you have, but you can easily drop in a 4670 or 4650 after you get it for about $70 and they will provide a significant boost in power.

The hybrid crossfire is only useful on ancient cards like the HD2k series. A 4670 doesnt even require a separate power connector, thats how little power it draws, and it would drop into a 785G board with no compatibility problems.
