    Gfx Card Performanc

    Hey guys, the difference between a 16MB Ati Mobility and 32MB Ati Mobility is 150 bucks I think. Would it really make much difference if I got the 16megger? Would I notice much difference in performance if I didn't play games and watched teh occasional DVD?

    Oh, and what would you pick?
    24x cd drive - free
    8x dvd upgrade - $49
    24x cdrw upgrade - $69
    8x dvd/24x cdrw comobo upgrade - $149
    c2d e6600, gigabyte ga-965p-ds3 3.3, x1950pro, 3gb ddr2 800

    at least the DVD upgrade, otherwise you're not going to be watching any DVD's on it at all (unless you have an external drive).

    If you aren't worrying about budget, get the combo drive, but I dont burn that many cd's

    [edit] the 16mb version will be more than enough if you're not gaming and only watching DVD's. My old laptop had a 4mb card and it still played DVD's flawlessly[edit]
