    As I have mentioned in threads before, I want to buy a laptop. Having looked at laptops, these are the common graphics cards that have come up. Although I'm not an intense gamer, I would like to play games, and it would be useful to know what I'm buying. What would you suggest the order of these graphics cards are in terms of how good they are? I realise it might not be easy to just put them in order, so please add comments too! (And I know what TurboCache is, just to save someone explaining it!)

    We have the stickies for this as mentioned. Please look before you post. I can't make the thread titles any more obvious/straightforward.
