    The medium-level gpu the X700 is much improved compared to the entry-level X300. It has a 3dmark 2005 benchmark of around 2300 compared to around 1000 for the X300.

    Sigh, x300 is junk in comparison. IF you’re within your return policy give it some serious thought.

    The X700 runs circles around the X300, doing more than twice as well as it or better. Think of the X300 as a Mobility Radeon 9600 and the X700 as the DESKTOP Radeon 9800, and you get the idea.

    also, what about overclocking the x300?
    can it then compare?

    yes, you can overclock the X300, to about the speed of a X600. still gives you less than half the speed of the X700. :)
