    Ok, so realistically, a 9600GS DDR3 and a 9650GT ddr2...

    big diff? any diff?

    If i want to spend $750, other than the X83Vm-X2 what are my asus-based options?
    Resolution, i don't care any more
    Ram, 4gb
    HDD w/e i want 7200rpm, but its no biggy
    and proc, i want a p8400 or a p8600

    9600m GS
    65nm
    Core: 430
    Shader: 1075
    Memory(GDDR3): 800

    9650m GT
    55nm
    Core: 550
    Shader: 1325
    Memory(DDR2): 500(?)

    The 9650m GT is the better option here.
