    how diffrent are these 3 video cards? like, are they diffrent enough to affect my gameplay on games like WoW, CS:S, and using photoshop.

    -256MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7400
    -(I believe 128MB) NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 6150
    -ATI RADEON® Xpress1150 256MB HyperMemory™ (Integrated)

    im looking at 3 diffrent laptops, and they each have that diffrent videocard.. are they diffrent enough to make an affect? (i know they are in order from worse to best, but is the diffrence significant?)

    Yes, it makes a difference.

    The 7400 will be much better than the other two.

    The most powerful of the group would be the 7400.. You most likely won't get the good performance on Counter-Strike Source on any of those.
    Links for the laptops?

    Also next time please read Chaz's Mobile Graphics Card Info page before posting a video card theard.

    so, then i should get the dv6000, since the videocard makes that much of a diffrence?

    i know this is getting off topic, but is it possible to recommend me a computer within the 1100ish price range, with a deal then what i currently find?

    --

    Operating System FREE Upgrade to Genuine Windows XP Media Center!!
    Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo processor T2250 (1.73 GHz)
    Display 15.4" WXGA BrightView Widescreen (1280x800)
    Graphics Card 256MB NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) Go 7400
    Personalization FREE Upgrade: HP Imprint Finish/Microphone/Webcam
    Memory FREE Upgrade to 1024MB DDR2 (2 Dimm)!!
    Hard Drive 100GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
    Primary CD/DVD Drive LightScribe Super Multi 8X DVD+/-RW w/Double Layer
    Networking Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network w/Bluetooth
    Primary Battery 12 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
    OS and Recovery Media System Recovery DVD w/Windows XP Media Center


    i find that to be the best deal

    again, sorry if this is getting off topic, but i think it'll be easier to just get this answered here, than make a new topic in another forum

    that dell is the e1501, not 1505

    that is a pretty good deal

    though if you expand your budget by 200, you get get a compal 80 or compal 30 or s96j

    all of which will have 2x more gaming power then the dv6000

    The source engine (especially in CSS which doesn't include all the bits and bobs of HL2) seems to be -like UT2004- quite kind on resources. I reckon all three would run it ok but the 7400 will of course be a lot better than the other two.

    Is there an up to date comparison between the xpress 1150 and the 6150 Chaz?
