    ATI Radeon HD 4650 1 GB DDR3
    with a 2.6ghz Core 2 Duo processor (P-series)
    5400rpm drive

    vs

    GT230M 1GB DDR3
    with a 1.6ghz i-7 processor
    7200rpm drive

    Which would you recommend for gaming? I know they're not very powerful but given the choice which would you recommend? The i-7 is $300 more...is it worth it?
