integrated or dedicated graphic card?

dell vostro1500 or hp dv6500t .......i want use this notebook in web surfing and multimedia streaming so 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS make diffrence from Intel® Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 for extra 50$

 

an Intel GMA X3100 will be enough for what your doing plus you'll be getting better battery life. Which laptops has what card?

 

I would stick with the X3100 for those tasks.
Whats the specs of both?

 

Dedicated graphics will be much better and 50$ is more than worth it. Go for the GeForce 8400

Just because you don,t plan to do it now, doesn,t mean you won,t be happy to have the possibility to do so in due time.

 

Dedicated. Then you don't sacrifice your system memory for graphics.

50$ in that case would be money well spent, because you NEVER know what kind of quality the integrated chip is. I avoid them like the plague.

 

But, that $50 can be spent on a RAM upgrade which counter-balences it.

 

core2duo 2gh +2g ram +160g hard am just hesitate about video card integrated intelx3100 or 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS

im not sur about my usage but am only addicted to needforspeed so!!!

 

If NFS:Carbon is your thing, then I'd go with the 8400M.

 

If you plan to do any gaming whatsoever go with 8400, or if you plan on playing HD movies on your notebook then go with the 8400. If however you don't plan to do either of those then stick with the 1300. For 50bucks I'd say upgrade anyways, because you cannot upgrade your video card afterwards and you may decide later on down the road that you'd like to game or play HD movies.

If you've got the extra 50 bucks go for it.

 

Buy the 8400m.

 

so in the last which better dell vostro1500 or hp dv6500t
