I just bought the new H.P. Pavilion dv6 3155dx it's a i3 but since I am not using it to run games, it works great for me. 4megs of ddr3 ram and a 500gb 7200 rpm Hd. :)

yes but the intel hd has 1274MB whereas the ATI on has 512MB

The amount of memory means nothing, Basically, the HD is integrated Graphics, so it borrows some system RAM to allocate tasks to. the 1700MB figure isn't the GPUs own. The 5470 is dedicated Graphics, it has it's own RAM, plus it's a better GPU anyway and has higher frequencies and has 80 dedicated Stream Processors.
 
I bought my wife an HP dv6 and we really like it. Great laptop...nice full metal case, nice screen, firm high quality keyboard.
