    Allright so I'm a student on a strict budget and was wondering what would be a rig that would be better for gaming Dell Inspiron 1521 with the ATI Radeon Xpress 1270 (with 64 MB dedicated and I don't know how much more is shared) or a HP Pavilion dv6405BIL (at Bestbuy) with a Nvidia Geforce Go 6150 (128MB shared I think with Turbocache). Now I know integrated graphic cards aren't made for gaming. But it would be nice to fit an odd game on the go such as NHL/Madden 08, Call of Duty or Brother in Arms, Halo 2, Need 4 Speed: Most Wanted. Do you know which one will be better for gaming?

    Not exactly sure which one is better. I believe they are both fairly even.

    It would also help to know your budget. A capable gaming laptop such as the Dell Vostro 1400 can be had for $600 with the 8400GS graphics card.
