    It's totally personal preference on the resolution, though if you have any hope of gaming beyond RTS games, the dedicated card is a must, even a weak one like the X300.

    It depends on which model you are talking about. I think you are talking about the 6000 and if so then go with the XGA. The wide format makes up for the loss of desktop space and the text is larger.
