Remember they both support DX 9.0 and SM 2.0. Also keep in mind that 9600 Mobility is a mid-range whereas X300 is entry level. Please keep this unbiased and backup your argument with benchmark or personal experience as why you chose what you chose.
alright guys, heads up. I have to make a decision soon and I have 2 (and only two choices). They are listed below. Please give me your opinion, I'm gonna go for what the majority vote for.
Its either this...
Comparing it to my Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz with Radeon 9200. How does that laptop fair in both application and gaming performance? I get average 50 fps in Medal of Honor on my desktop PC with maximum details 1024x768. How will that laptop do in comparison to that?
Hello everyone !
Currently I'm in the process of getting a moderately descent laptop. I don't intend to play latest games on it but some gaming will be done and my budget is $600 US Max.
Now I need some advise from you experts here.
My choice is this Dell Latitude D600 which someone is selling...
unfortunately it doesn't work that way. My 9700 pro which was $400 just 2-3 years ago is now being sold for under $40 :eek: Now that I want to sell it, its pointless to sell it for $40 and buy a video card for $500 with delta $460.
In conclusion, we (with great old cards) are left with no...
Do you need AGP or PCIe?
Anyway..The 6600 GT is a good choice for the stuff you intend to use it for. The games you listed, 6600 should suffice very well.
Here are some alternatives though:

Port or no port, the point is "It Doesn't Run Well"
For the original poster, get a 8600 GT instead.
I personally prefer ATI though for its superior image quality, but the offerings these days aren't worth your money.
Here is my recommendation...
I dont think you need to upgrade. x1900 should be good enough. Wait until September for crysis to come out. Usually upgrading for a game that isn't out is not a wise decision. WAIT and stick with what you have. Don't buy 8800 series, horrible performance in DX10 Lost Planet < 15 fps. But again...
Wooha!!! I never thought my post would get so much attention. Posted last night, over 400 views and 28 posts already ! :) . I really appreciate that.
Alright I read every single bit of what you guys said. And I wanna start quoting so here we go...

I witnessed that...
Totally open discussion,
What do you guys think about Directx10 and Pixel Shader 3.0?
Are we better off sticking with our old 9700 pro and upgrade when the time comes?
I tried some games that make use of SM3.0 on a different system but I never tend to like them anyway so why upgrade? LOL.
Future...
