which is better.thinking of getting a dell lappy either a 1.8c2d or a 2.0ghz with a 256mb 8600m gt... but theres a 128mb 8600m gs... surely being 128mb its not as good?
also is the 8400m they put on new dells better than the above 2?

But yeh, get the 8600, it will cope with medium detail at low res... the 8400 wont
256mb would be good if the res is above 1280x800, but I doubt there will be a huge difference at this res or lower unless you use AA/AF (unlikely that you would want to with this card...)
edit: Actually, I have never heard of a 8600gs... but the usually the gt is a fair bit better than the gs... faster clocks and more pixel shaders iirc... probably about 10-15% faster...

The 8600GT is certainly a very capable card but my 8400gs is a little trooper. Plays everything I've cared to try one way or another
If you are shooting for the best though the 8600GT is it.
I was at PC world earlier and noticed they are selling older Asus G1's for around £600.
Thats a DDR3 GT ( I think) and 2.0GHz C2D. Didn't think that was too shabby actually.
nice sounds like im going to get some tasty mobile gaming.and also have a wired 360 controller sono mouse needed.nice nice
cheers guys
