    Can anyone tell me the differences between these two (and which of them is the better one):

    - Intel GL960 Express Chipset Mobile

    - Intel 943GML Express Chipset Mobile

    Thanks!

    The 943GML is 2 generations old and uses the GMA 950 while the GL960 is one generation old and uses the x3100.
