im thinking of buying a new notebook, i have found two with similar specs but the first one has a 120mb shard video card with 1gb of ram however the second one has a 64mb dedicated card and 512. wich one should i choose????|||Anytime you have a "dedicated" part attached to a motherboard, you're in a better position than if you didn't have it. Shared parts utilize/leech off of other things that could work more efficiently, and therefore, effectively if they were working 100%. :)|||The video memory doesnot help much if your card isnt powerful enough to handle a game...also dedicated memory is faster than shared memory.
Heres the order of preference, for laptop cards:
Nvidia / Ati
7800 / -----
7600 / 1600
6600 / X700
------- / X600
6200 / X1400
Dont buy an X300.
If you want to play the latest games, I'd recommend stay abovew the X700
I have a laptop with 1GB ram and 128MB X700, Centrino. My friend bought a laptop with 1GB ram and 256MB Shared Memory X1400, with Centrino DUO. But since X1400 is weaker than the X700, all the games ran faster on my laptop.
Edit: Dont buy a laptop based on the amount of system RAM it has. That can be upgraded, the video memory cannot.|||Second one, because 512 MB ram is enough for latest applications, and 64 MB dedicated video card means that your computer would be provided a specific video card for graphices, but in shared video card, it can 32 MB shared, or 64 MB shared, you can choose by yourself. But, it creates many problems because it is not dedicated for graphics only, it is also used for other purposes in addition to Graphics, leading to freezing of notebooks or PC etc.|||maybe the first one...its nice|||The Second!
