    How much of a difference to the score would the 512 vs 256 make? I would guess it would be minimal?

    In 3d mark there might be a noticeable difference. In real life game benchmarks the difference will be very small afaik.

    thanks for the info, I don't do heavy gaming, only light and if the graphics are not top notch it does not matter to me.

    That 3DMark 2006 score falls short for me. It looks like I need a notebook with a Nvidia 9600M GT like the new MPB or perhaps the upcoming Dell Studio XPS 16?
