    Hi guys,
    First thank you all for all the precioua informations in this forum :)
    Im in the Middle of getting an aspire 6930g with core duo t9400 and a 9600m gt.
    I want to use this laptop for gaming.

    Actually i have an hp dv3-2350el with a core i3 330m and ati hd4550. Im quite satisfied but it doesnt have sufficent power for my needs.

    So my question,how does the t9400+9600m gt both ddr2 compared to i3+hd4550 ddr3 (althought this card uses sdr memory)?

    Will i gain performance? I will plan to upgrade to hd4650 in the future if its ok,i saw that it uses mxm A as a standard.

    Mant thanks to everyone!

    9600m 3dmark06 score 4275. HD 4550 score around 3500. For gaming, the Acer is best. The t9400 is also faster than an i3, I think.
