    I am planning to buy a laptop and I've a query regarding integrated graphics. Which one of the following graphics option is the best for both Vista and Windows 7?

    Intel 950 GMA or
    Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD

    Also which one is the latest innovation.

    4500mhd is the latest out of the two and it's also the better of the two.

    Much much much better.

    seriousy it's like comparing apples and...

    in order from oldest to newest:
    950 gma
    X3100
    4500MHD

    so you can see the 950 is two generations behind. Don't get it!
    Get the 4500MHD
