    Which one is faster (in term of gaming and Blu-Ray/HD DVD performance), GeForce Go 7400 64MB or Intel GMA X3100 128MB?

    The Go 7400. It's about 40% faster in 3dmark06 and 100% faster in 3dmark05 and 3dmark03.

    The former is a dedicated graphics card compared to the latter's integrated card, in almost every comparison the dedicated card wins in performance by a mile.

    Eventhough X3100 is newer and has twice as much Video RAM?

    The X3100 is using system ram. It doesn't have it's own memory like a dedicated graphics card has.
