I am buying a new laptop. It is neither a sony s170 or the s150. The s170 has the 9700 and the s150 has the 9200. I know that the 9700 is better but by how much? The difference in the price is $550. I want the 9700 but 550 is alot. I don't use my laptop for gaming much, I just play warcraft 3, but I might in the future and I don't want my video card to be crap. I have a nvidia 5200 64MB in my laptop now. How does that card stavk up to the ati's I listed?

THe 9700is dx 9 . IT performs between a 9600xt and a 9700 non pro desktop versions from the last review i saw of it . There is a 9600 mobile i believe , if u can find that in a laptop u want it may fall between the two prices . Giving you a good mix . |

9200 with only 32 MB is crippled by 64-bit memory bus. 9700 mobility is about 2.5 times as fast as normal 9200 mobility, and about 4x as fast as the memory-bus-crippled 32 MB 9200 |
