I'm using a 3 year old 512 MB ATI Radeon 4870, and I had graphics all the way up. Not sure how old the 3650 is for comparison.

Has a nice listing of GPU "Tiers". The 4870 is actually a couple Tiers above a 6670 even if it is a few generations older. The ATI numbers are generation (the 3,4,5,6,7), then it's I don't know what they call it I consider it the tier within the model 9 is top of the line for that gen so an 8 is up there, then you go to what I consider model (90, 70, 50). Usually the 70's have more memory than the 50's. So older Tiers can be better than new ones. Of course ATI does marketing games with it at times. The 6770 is pretty much just a rebranded 5770 for example.

But to answer RedRadical's question the HD3650 is a few Tiers above the G210 and one tier below the HD 6450 which were the two slowest cards tested. So it should be alright at low graphics setting on it but you may need to drop to 1280x1024 resolution.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
