Your post is confusing but I think I know what you're talking about. You probably have a video card that has some on board vram and then it uses system ram for additional memory.

You have the same computer my school had. The standard video card is a Radeon X300 with 64MB and that is what all you have unless you have upgraded it. Which I wouldnt do with that machine, because dell likes to use cheap powersupplies that will only power the hardware put into it and just.
As stated the 2.2GB you see is where the system has allocated 2.2GB of the system RAM to the graphics card, which is alot slower than the graphics cards built in VRAM.

Define cool games and we will tell you if you can play them, chances are you wont be able to. At least not newer games.
And your last question, HDMI.
