    128MB Dedicated X300.

    or

    256MB Geforce 7400 (128MB Dedicated and 128MB Turbocache).


    Which one is better?

    Thanks

    The 7400 for sure!! The 7400 = X1400. And the X1400 is right inbetween the X600 and the X700. But with the 128MB's Turbocach you can allocate the 7400 to steal 128MB's of system memory making it a total of 256. Or you can just use the 128MB's dedicated.

    the x300 is only about 1/3 better than the ATI 200m. the 7400 is about the equivilent of the x1400, the current replacement of the x600. it should be at least twice as fast as the x300
