    I'm getting confused with everyones post I mean I know the MX7515 is probably only comnputer Ill be able to find anyway but I just need to know which of the two were better because from some peoples reviews the MX7515 is faster but in other cases the 7510GX had a bettwr Video Card, which I dontunderstand still why a newer model of the Gateway will have specs lower class from the older model haha. So someone, anyone, i need a straight up answer now before my head explodes and I become retarded from confusion lol... kthx.

    lol...

    The 7510GX model has a x600 (128MB dedicated ram and an extra 128MB ram shared from system memory) with a 3700+ 64bit.

    The MX7515 model has a x600 (64MB dedicated ram and an extra 64MB ram shared from system memory) with a 4000+ 64bit.

    The cpu is faster for the MX7515 model but lacks in video ram. So when it comes to playing games the 7510GX will win because of the extra dedicated video ram. Games now-a-days are very graphic intensive so it needs as much video ram as possible. So if your a gamer I think you should go with the 7510GX. If your not much of a gamer but still want to play games occasionally then I say go with the MX7515.

    I own a 7510GX and most of my assumptions are from the 3dmark 05 test people were posting for the MX7515.

    Sorry you are correct with the video card. It is a x600 on the Mx7515. The rest of what I said is correct. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...CategoryId=pcmcat22300050001&id=1125464966640

    There is still sharing according to the bestbuy site for a TOTAL of 128MB.
    "128MB HyperMemory (total of local and system memory used by GPU; 64MB local onboard memory)"

    I edited what I stated above which is just replacing the x700 with the x600.

    I wouldn't say that the MX7515 is better than the zd8000 because HP has a 17inch screen and a dedicated 256MB of video ram (so no sharing). Plus it used DDR2 for the system ram. The zd8000 is probably the better laptop compared to the MX7515. If the MX7515 had 128MB dedicated video ram with the extra 128MB shared then I would think there might be some closer competition.
