    I wouldn't. Sure there would be some increase, but it wouldn't be worth the lose of value and the effort required to sell your laptop.

    They're most probably going to be about the same in performance. Slight edge to the HD 3650.

    Both have 120 stream processors. And both have 128bit memory bus.

    Clocks are different but won't make all that much of a difference in gameplay only in silly benchmarks.

    The HD 2600 was last year's top card, while the HD 3650 is this year's mid tier card.

    BTW, 3850 and 3870 are on their way. Will see them in Montevina and maybe in some PUMA systems as top cards.

    See ATI 3870 coming in march thread.
