    Hi!

    I`m wondering which graphic is a better choice? Go 6100 or Xpress 1100? Go 6100 is integrated in Benq P51E notebook (Sempron 3400+ 1.8 Ghz), Xpress 1100 in Acer Aspire 5102 (Turion mk-38 2.2 Ghz), acer costs 100$ more then Benq. What should i choose? All of this GPU`s supports Aero Glass?

    Sorry for my poor english :)

    The Go 6100 is better then Xpress 1100 but the Turion is faster then the Sempron. So the Benq is better for gaming and the Acer for other tasks. Is the Ram the same for both?
    And yes both the Go 6100 and Xpress 1100 support aero.

    Ram is the same for both notebooks- 512. I wont buy it for games, but would be nice to play some games from time to time. Benq costs less then Acer so i can add 512 mb ram (1024 total), and has better graphic as Wave said. Is it a big difference between Sempron 3400 and turion mk 38? Is it worth to pay 100$ for it?

    I'd spring for the Turion. Chances are, you'll get better battery life over the Sempron.

    Also, whilst the 6150 may be better than the X1100, I'm not sure about the downclocked 6100.
