    i finally decided to go for acer
    should i go with 5738g with nvidia g105 and core2duo
    or 5536g with amd turion and ati 4570
    the ati 4570 is mid class graphic card and its good to play most games on low or med but the processor is a bullsht
    the g105m is third class card which is very low compared to ati 4570 ,,but the core2 duo kick amd turion
    i just want to run games smoothly like gta iv at any setting ,i dont care weather its high or low or ultra low,,but i saw video of gta iv with amd turion and ati 3650 hd which is a decent card and its extremely slow but playable and that was at minimum settings,,im really so confused right now since the most important factor for games would be gpu not cpu
    and plz guys i decided to go with one of those so just comment on any one of the two and dont recommend a different model
    thanks in advance

    Well the G 105M is sorta like my 9300M GS with less heat, and I manage to play GTA IV on low-medium low. That's using DOX 180.84 drivers. (Those are drivers optimized for GTAIV)

    The Intel Processor > The AMD Processor
    ATi 4570 > Nvidia G105
    Depends on your priority but I prefer the AMD one.
    Because ATi 4570HD + AMD Processor > Intel Processor + Nvidia G105
    The graphics Performance difference is greater than the performance diffference.
