    who told you this? whoever did is either a fool or trying to sell you obsolete hardware. the 8600mGS is as good if not better than the go7600

    They both aren't very good for todays games, but if you don't mind lowering the settings, then the 8600GS is better.

    The 8600GS is SLIGHTLY faster than the 7600GT, but is also DX10 compatible.

    ^No the Go 7600GT is faster, and the Go 7600 is slower. Either way the 8600m GS would be better because it has DX10.

    The 8600GT is a significant upgrade over the GS, if it's an option.
