Mobile graphics

Aloha to all!!!

Sorry to post this here..but the notebook forum over here is DEAD..

I'm looking around for a notebook...I'm no hardcore gamer, but i like to play the latest that make a buzz, even if just the first few levels...

Anyhow...can someone put all those mobile chips in perspective...as in from lowest to best performance??

Over at CNET i read this: "In 3D graphics tests, the Presario X1000 easily outperformed the Acer TravelMate 800, but it failed to challenge the Dell Latitude D800, which houses an Nvidia GeForce4 4200 Go with 64MB of video memory. Still, the Presario X1000 will satisfy everyone but the pickiest gamers."

I'm seriously considering the ZT3000 or the X1000 and both have the 9200, but I'm really surprised that the GF4 Go420 is FASTER??
and why is the X1000 so much faster than the Acer TravelMate 800 which uses the mobility radeon 9000 while the X1000 uses the mobility radeon 9200? arent they both the same except for the AGP8x interface?

So someone enlighten me...

which is faster....
ATI 9000(9200), GFX 5200, GF4 Go 420 and what kind of performance would i expect of these...

And i noticed this in an article on Tom's hardware:
The NVIDIA GeForce4 Go440 & NVIDIA GeForce4 Go460 ??!!! I NEVER saw them in a notebook configuration??!!

BTW..the 9600, 9700, 5600 and the 5700s are not found in ANY sub 6 lb notebooks, so they're not an option.

Thanks

I see...mmmm....i did some researching...

It seems there's the GF4 4200 Go based on the Ti 4200, and there's the GF4 420 based on the MX series....

And it seems the GF4 Go 4200 kicks the 9200 but...but i cant find ANY laptop using it??
