I'm picking up a laptop for school shortly and I have access to some awesome deals on IBM laptops. It is going to come down to the video card and mainly RAM/HDD to choose between my three IBM options and I wanted everyone's opinion on the graphics cards. I know the Radeon Mobility 9600 is one of the better notebook graphics cards, but where does the FireGL T2 come in for gaming? I MIGHT use the notebook for some 3D Rendering in the coming years, but not much if any. My primary use of the graphics card will be gaming, with normal school stuff being the primary use of the notebook overall. Anyone's input on the diff with the FireGL card would be appreciated. Below are the price points of the 3 systems
IBM T42 -- Pentium M 1.8 Ghz Dothan -- 15" SXGA+ -- 40GB 5400 RPM -- Radeon 9600 64MB -- 512MB DDR -- $1800
IBM T42p -- Pentium M 1.8 Ghz Dothan -- 14.1" SXGA+ -- 60GB 7200 RPM -- FireGL T2 128MB -- 512MB DDR -- $2300
IBM T42p -- Pentium M 1.8Ghz Dothan -- 15" UXGA -- 60GB 7200 RPM -- FireGL T2 128MB -- 1024MB DDR -- $2600
All systems include 3 year depot warranty.
