Mobile Graphics cards ??

[Vlad Drac]

Hi All...
I need a little help on trying to buy a new laptop.
At the moment it's coming down to the mobile graphics cards that are intalled.
I only have a ltd budget, so it's between the ATi 256mb Mobility Radeon X1400 or the Nvidia 256mb Geforce Go 7300.
I dont really no anything about the cards so can anyone help point me in the right direction on what one to go with.
Cheers

Will both cards run Vista Ultimate and aero glass without any probs ???

They are both dx9 cards so should be fine.

Got a mate running it on a 6200 agp (1200 3dmark05) which is slower than the go7300 (1600 3dmark05) and it runs it ok but only gets a score of 2.0 for the graphics which is the minimum.

Might be best to wait for advice from someone else with one themselves before splashing out.

Anyone else got one of these cards that can help me out.

my laptop has the x1400 256mb and it plays everything i need, granted with reduced quality at times. bf2 for example can be played with settings in the high/medium region.
