    Im asking because the first one has more ram, while the other seems to have better processor, and on the graphic card I already know that 8600GT is better than GS, but the way they are selling it seems like the the first one (GS) has more memory?

    here's the link http://http://www.notebooksbilliger.de/index.php/notebooks/samsung
    I saw a thread about shared memory and it encourage people to ask.
    Which one is better?


    Im a little bit of a noob here and if you know some other models from some other brands that are as great for gaming as the both mentioned here and are cheaper or better for the same price, can you please post them? (my budget is a little bit tight, these 2 cost between 800-900 EUR)
    And it has to be a laptop. (I know desktops are better but im not in my homeland here)

    get the 8100 one and buy additional 2gb memory (cheap nowdays)
    actually if you use vista x86(32bit) 1gb extra should be enough.

    Get the laptop with the GT and buy the extra RAM yourself as suggested. Shared memory is more a marketing gimmick than anything else.
