    You already have them ranked (from worst to best)...

    X3100 <<<< NVS 140M (8400M GS) < V5220 (X1700)

    And, these "things" called "1394" and "WWAN" will not effect gaming performance...

    These two are the same graphics card.

    These two are also the same graphcis card. The NVS 140m is much better than the x3100, as it's a dedicated graphics card suitable for moderate 3d gaming.
    This is similar to the NVS 140m, though it will perform better at higher resolutions. It's also an older DX9 part though, so overall I'd say the NVS 140m is the better option.

    To give you an idea of how these cards compare in the graphics card guide in the sticky, the NVS 140m is between the 8400M-GS and the 8400M-GT, and the v5250 is the same as the x1700.
