    ASUS G73 with HD5870

    Those 2 laptops in your poll are meant for torture, not gaming

    ya I wish. I understand they're nowhere near powerhouses. I guess I should have asked, does the HD 4200 suck worse than the nVidia ION?

    I'd keep your Inspiron with the 8600 than spend more money for less.

    Excellent option! Full Vote from me!
    This would be the best solution if u can't afford a new proper notebook as ur 8600M GT can easily be overclocked to more and even at base , beats both.
