Hi.
I'm trying to buy a laptop and I'm not sure witch video card I need to be able to play video games on it.I'm looking at diff laptops right now one of them has
*Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M with 128MB-1342MB dynamically allocated shared graphics memory .
and the other:
*ATI TECHNOLOGIES X600 128MB GRAPHICS CARD
Could you tell me witch one is better ?
Thank you .
 
"Shared" memory means the Video card is sharing (or using is a better word) the Memory from your System Ram !
Many laptops share memory this way, so even the 2nd choice above may be doing this too. But if it has dedicated Video memory (or 128Meg) then that would be better.
Laptops are not really designed for high Video resource (ie that's why only 128Meg anyway) Because they run much hotter than Desktops
 
Buy whatever laptop you can afford. You get what you pay for.

You can spend $500 for a base model Toshiba (I like Toshibas by the way), or you can spend $1500 or more for a top of the line Dell or Lenovo.
