P.S. free copy of Far Cry w/ purchase of the Ninja (Uniwill 258ka0) at VariousPC (all systems w/ AMD 64). thanks, again ..any help is really appreciated

 

Price:

Ninja (Uniwill 258ka00 = $1404.90 w/ free shipping
Shogun (Uniwill 259ia3)= $1467.90 w/ free shipping

main difference: CPU (AMD 64 vs centrino), and GPU (9700 128mb vs 9700 256mb)....confused!! pls help

 

I would go with the Uniwill 258k if you are looking for sheer power. if you want a mix of good batt life/proformance the Centrino would be a good choice. But the AMD 64 gets my vote since i was a former user.

 

how big is the diff. between 128mb vs 256mb for gaming>?>?

 

it isnt noticeable unless you crank up the resolution, and put games on their highest settings.

 

Hmm how come you can get the extended warranty on the one with the Pentium but not the AMD one.
