I am buying a new laptop and I found the one I want its got great specs

4 gigs ram
2.5 dual core processor
320gb hard drive

but the thing I am worried about is the graphics card here it is:

Built-in NVIDIA GeForce GO 8600M-GT 512MB Video

is that one good enough for most games....I knwo if the card was a dedicated card it would be but I am assuming that "Built-in" means integrated

please help me cause I would be getting an amazing deal for this machine

and also what is the difference in these 2 cards as in which ones is more powerful for gaming:

Built-in NVIDIA GeForce GO 8600M-GT 512MB Video

or

Built-in NVIDIA GeForce Go 8600M GS 512MB Video

Thank you

Where are you getting it from?
 
The 8600M GT is going to be faster as it should have a better core.

These are not the best from nvidia but they are certainly ALOT better than what Intel would have given you if you were to get Intel Integrated.
 
Built in doesn't always mean integrated, but in this case, it looks like it does. If you can find one of the newer laptops, like Gateway's, they have user changeable processors and graphics cards. If your budget extends to one of those, you might want to give it a try and customize it to your own requirements/needs.
 
The 8600 GT is better, and what kind of games will you be playing? If you're playing Crysis you might have some problems, but games like WoW and possibly CoD4 will be just fine.
