    They're about equal, although the GoForce 5200 has dedicated RAM to itself, rather than the 945G's integrated graphics which can utilize (depending on the BIOS settings) up to 128MB of your system RAM.

    Of course, if you're thinking of gaming, then neither of these options are really a good choice. In day-to-day use, I'd go with the 5200 simply because it's not taking the system RAM away from you.

    The main thing would be to make sure there's a separate graphics chip with it's own dedicated memory. If you're not gaming, you don't need anything too powerful. The main vice with laptops is that they tend to have very slow hard drives, in a means to keep power drain and heat as low as possible. It's pretty common to have a laptop with a 4200RPM drive. Today, 5400RPM drives are pretty rare in desktops as 7200RPM is pretty standard.

    Id have to go for

    manufacturer : NVIDIA®
    type : GeForce™ FX Go5200
    memory : 32 MB
    memory type : DDR Video RAM
    graphics accelerator : 128 bit
    connected bus : 8 x AGP bus

    It might have a bit to do with the fact that i have a grudge against intel and all intel products
