    Why is the nx6125 described as having x200m chipset and X300 GPU with 128mb shared memory? I know the R4000 is described with x200m with either shared or 128mb dedicated. I would like to know what is what and the performance diffrences, HP is just confusing me right now... :confused:

    I haven't actually seen the product, but I'm more than willing to bet that HP is talking about the Hypermemory architecture that comes along with the x300.

    In this case, the GPU has a small reserve of dedicated memory (32-128 MB) and will borrow up to another 128 MB from the system memory.

    The performance of the x300 should be faster than the 200m GPU, but as always, the x300 was never meant for gaming and will lag behind many other GPUs.

    I believe the nx6125 uses ATI's x200m as one of the systems controller chips, I believe someone said it was the North Bridge. While the x300 is the GPU uned in the notebook. This should be shared video upto 128MB.
