    GS with 128MB will be far superior.

    The 8400m G is worse but cheaper
    The 8400m GS is better but more expensive.

    It's 128 MB DEDICATED. 831 MB is shared, meaning that most of it borrowes from the RAM. Dedicated is always better.

    If your planning to do mild gaming then get the 8400 GS instead of 8400 G
