    Is a ATI Mobility RADEON 9600 w/64 MB memory with
    • AMD Athlon 64-bit 3000+ Mobile Processor at 1.8 GHz
    • HyperTransport technology up to 1600 MHz Full duplex
    • 1 MB L2 Cache
    • 512MB 333 MHz PC2700 DDR SODIMM

    better than a

    128MB ATI Radeon ® XPRESS 200M IGP (dedicated) with
    • AMD Athlon 64 ™ 3200+ Processor at 2.0GHz
    • 512KB L2 cache
    • 512MB (2 x 256MB) 333MHz DDR SDRAM
    in other words which would play games the fastest?

    Yes.

    Neither are that great for gaming.

    Check out the Compaq V4000t with the 128MB X700. Starts at $849 on www.HPShopping.com.

    9600 can be easily overclocked. I did it and got 20% better marks.
