So im trying to decide which laptop i should get, for overall school, and some gaming (not high graphics gaming such as crysis or AoC) and was wondering which of these would be better? Also the laptop with the 9500 gs has only 3 gigs of ram with the 32-bit vista OS compared to the lap top with the HD 2600 having 4 gigs of ram with 64-bit vista, does would this make a difference at all? thanks a lot!

I'd expect the HD 2600 would be better, not up on mobile GPUs though. 4 gigs is definitely better, especially since it's using the 64-bit Vista. My guess is the 2600 sucks more power though.

It's what you call the graphics card in a laptop (mobile) computer.

GPU = graphics processing unit
Mobile = exactly what it sounds like

I'd go with the 2600.

err what about the HD 2600 vs the HD 3650? the 2600 says it has 512 MB dedicated and the 3650 has 1024 mb but i dont know if its dedicated or not. would the 3650 still be better?

the 3650 is basically the exact same as the 2600 with some minor changes, so it would be the more favorable choice

if it has 19024 mb of memory, it<s probably shared memory (read use system ram)

Dedicated memory would be way better.

The one with the 2600 seem to be really great if it<s really dedicated 512 mb.

2600 definitely. It competes with 8600GT what left for 8500 series. 8500 series are really slow cards.
