Why should you get higher fps? The ATI 200M is an x300 derivative, most
likely using shared memory without any onboard memory, so everything
goes over the PCI Express bus.

For OpenGL you want to avoid 200M, x300(se), x600(se), nVidia 6200 TC.
ATI's HyperMemory or nVidia's Turbo Cache quickly leads to poor OpenGL
performance.

Better is radeon x700 (avoid any 'SE' edition), GeForce 6600 or higher.
