You should start using proper punctuation like question marks, for example. It helps if you want people to read, understand and bother to answer your posts.

 
Do you intend on watching BluRay or HD-DVD movies?

If so then you are actually better off buying a 8500GT with HDCP (not all models will have this feature). Basically the 8500/8600 series has built in hardware dedicated to decoding HD video which will reduce the load on the CPU immensely.

Both GMA video chipsets are made by Intel. The X1250 goes with AMD's 690G chipset which has become known for its amazing power. The X1250 is what you want to get. It performs better than any Intel chipset out there. (Google "AMD 690G")
