Graphics card-Laptops

[scoop]

Hiya

Am buying a laptop soon and have noticed that the two cards offered with most are:

64Mb Intel 852GME Graphics

64MB ATI Radeon Mobility 9000

Basically i was wondering if theres a large difference between the two in terms of performance?

Thanks in advance.

The radeon is MUCH, much faster. Which laptop is it?

Specs wise:

TOSHIBA A30-514 (from currys :| )

Mobile Intel Pentium 4 2.8Ghz Processor
512 Mb RAM Memory
30 Gb Hard Drive
15" TFT Screen
DVD Rom & CD ReWriter Drive
64Mb Intel 852GME Graphics
Microsoft Windows XP Home & Works
2 x USB Connections
1 x Firewire Connection

I guess this one is the better though:

IRIDIUM S865 (from special reserve)
Intel Pentium 4 2667MHz (2.67Ghz)
512MB DDR RAM
40GB hard drive
DVD/CD-RW Combo drive
64MB ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 Graphics and a 15" SXGA display

Both are £999.99..

Dell's Inspiron 8600 is 999 too - here but personally I'd spend slightly more and upgrade it when you buy - for a little more they'll add a faster CPU and even better graphics. Way better than either machine you've offered above.

both ATI and nVidia are about to releace, or have releaced, new mobility products

wait for teh prices to fall on the older ones or buy a newer one

i think you'll be able to get teh 9700pro in a few weeks
