I think it does. Otherwise, why would it even have the option in the BIOS?
And, why would the BIOS be set this was as the default for Windows?

I got this from HP's website.

128MB ATI RADEON(R) XPRESS 200M w/Hypermemory(TM)
   ATI RADEON(R) XPRESS 200M with 128MB dedicated video memory delivers
great image qualities for crisp, sharper 3D action video and brings
graphic-intensive applications to life. This graphics solution increases
performance to handle the heavy graphics from games, the Internet and
graphically intensive applications. Hypermemory(TM) technology builds on the
bandwidth of system memory and ATI software to deliver performance for
mobile graphics using lower amounts of local graphics memory. Additional
features include an IEEE 1394 port, 6-in-1 Media Reader, Consumer IR and an
ExpressCard/54 slot.
