    Better is subjective.

    If you're wondering what's faster, the XPS system is. The XPS uses GDDR3 VRAM at a higher clock rate than the Vostro's DDR2 VRAM.

    MB of VRAM doesn't matter.

    the 1500 is more cost effective but has the slower ddr2 gfx. The 1530 is sexier, a little faster and much pricier
