    I'm just about to purchase my notebook and almost everything is they way I want it. I'm choosing between an Inspiron E1505 or a hp dv5000t/z. The deciding factor is which has the better GPU.

    There's:
    the E1505 with a 256MB ATI Radeon X1400,
    the dv5000t with a 128MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400, or
    the dv5000z with a 128MB ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M


    my question is which is the better graphics card and would it be able to play games like SimCity 4 and the like?
