Thats a 5900U, not a 5600U.

And the way they advertise it sucks.

Fixed.

Recent findings lead me to believe that the Radeon 9600 Pro will be a tad better in upcoming DirectX 9 titles as it seems that Pixel Shader 2.0 performance is in favor for the Radeon. Unfortunately there's only one game available right now to test that reasonably well, which is the latest Tomb Raider title. I refuse to make a final suggestion on this matter based upon one game though.

Have a look here for first Halo benchmarks, looks like the Radeon 9600 will slaughter the GeforceFX 5600 in that one, too:

I read that one, but is the 5600G really comparable to the desktop version? (I truly don't know and would like to.)

If I remember right, it was slightly slower than the desktop version, not sure, though. Anyway, the 9600 is almost 3x faster in the beta Halo benchmark, so the speed difference between the notebook and desktop 5600 won't make a big difference...

Heh, one game, and 3DMark, which was telling us all this so long ago...
