Yes, you would be much better off with 64mb dedicated video then 32mb dedicated video and note that 32mb dedicated video is stated as the MINIMUM requirements.
Many newer games like Doom 3 have 64mb dedicated video as a MINIMUM requirement so for full game performance without reducing the settings the ATI 9600/9700 with 128mb dedicated on the Dell 8600 or others is the ideal.
Basically, from what I have read at X1000forums.com in the games section (which also has 32mb dedicated or 64mb dedicated video cards based on the ATI 9200) you can reduce the shadows and textures, etc in the games to get better performance.
Keep in mind that your ATI 7500 is below an ATI 9000/9200 in performance and those in turn are below the current ATI 9700 standard as well. Keep in mind in the specs you state that the GEforce 2 is the minimum. The ATI 7500 may be below that standard ---the ATI 9600/9700 is definitely above that standard and the ATI 9000/9200 is likely a rough equivalent.
If you had shared/integrated video you might not be able to play the game at all so at least you have dedicated video but again 64mb dedicated is the current mainsteam level right now on notebooks) with 128mb dedicated the ideal and 256mb dedicated the rare and the pricey ........
