Dell Laptop video card
I am probably going to buy a dell Inspiron 8200 notebook, with a 1.8GHz P4M, but can't decide on what video card to get as I know very little about mobile cards.
Options:
32MB DDR 4X AGP NVidia NV17 3D Video (is NV17 Gf4 as well, can't recall)
Or
64MB DDR 4XAGP NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go 3D Video
Or
64MB Mobility Radeon 9000
Now obviously the 64MB cards are superiour to the 32MB one, but I am wondering how the 32MB one would run current games, and if it would be worth it to upgrade to a 64MB card for about $200.00 Cdn if this will be a working/gaming machine.
I was also considering a 5100 which uses a desktop P4 at 2.4GHz, and can have either a 16mb or 32Mb ati mobility radeon 7500. But decided that a mobile processor would be a better bet due to heat/power savings on long trips using the battery etc. Was this a wise decision or should I reconsider the 5100 with the 32MB card? and if so how would this card compare to the ones available in the 8200.
Thanks for any advise you can offer.
