I have narrowed my decision to two HP's, both are $999. All other things being equal, which would have better performance for graphics work (photoshop) and occasional DVD viewing? (3D gaming is not an issue) Thanks

#1
256MB SDRAM at 133mhz
Mobile Intel 933MHz Celeron
Intel 830MG video graphics
8-32MB video memory (shared w/system memory)
#2
256MB SDRAM at 100MHz
Duron 900MHz
Trident CBXP 128-bit AGP2X w/3D hardware acceleration
8MB dedicated SGRAM video

my advice would be to check about trident graphics you might fine it is just a chipset which will only give you software rendering have you looked at compaq's?
