Question:
8400M GS vs Geforce Go 7400?
Hi,I was wondering which was better for gaming? mostly source engine games,But I will be playing cs 1.6,starcraft, and Wc3.If I were to get the Geforce Go 7400 I will get the Hp dv 6000t and if the 8400M GS I will get the dell vostro 1500. So which will perform better games wise? And the processor for the dv 6000t is Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo processor T2450 (2.0 GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 533MHz FSB)
and for the vostro- Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5470 (1.6GHz, 2MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)

The Core 2 Duo is a far superior processor, and the 8400m GS is about 50% faster than the Go 7400. :)

The 8400 is a new generation. The 7400 isn't. Now, not to say that it doesn't make it better automatically, because a 7950 would slaughter an 8400 easily. However, they fall in the same performance class FOR THEIR GENERATIONS. And since the 8400 is in a newer one, it will beat the 7400. Period.
As for the processor, despite the lower clock the Dell has the new Santa Rosa chipset which has a higher FSB and supposedly more efficient use of resources and power.
However, since you're opting for a Vostro 1500 I would say go all the way and get the 8600M GT. You won't be sorry.

Man, HP is still schlepping Core Duos on machines with dedicated graphics? Dumb question, considering they're still configuring new AMD x2 processors with NVidia 6150 SE ("sucky edition") INTEGRATED graphics ... like, about 3 generations old, and hyping these as entertainment machines and charging what other mfg's charge for C2D's with next generation dedicated graphics.
And I agree with the above poster -- get the 8600M GT; it'll prolly STILL be cheaper than the HP with a outdated cpu & gpu!
