1.4-1.7 p4m. Any real difference?

Video Card

I will not be using the laptop for gaming but i will prolly watch movies on it, will the
64MB DDR NVIDIA® GeForce?4 4200 Go AGP 4X Graphics give me that much lower video quality than the
128MB nVidia® GeForce? FX Go 5650 4X AGP Graphics for just video watching that i should pay the extra $129?

Screen

Dell is offering a WUXGA a WSXGA+ and a WXGA. The only real difference that I can se is that the WUXGA has higher resolution but other than that will i see any really difference? Thanks

processor

it depends on what u r doing. if all u do is basic office stuff the 1.4 should be fine, but there will be a noticable difference with over 20% more proc power.

video

if all you want is dvd watching power any modern chip will do.

screen

depends. i have seen lower sez screens look better than high rez ones. what matters are screen brightness, contrast ratio, color vibrancy and correctness, etc... post the model #'s you are looking at and maybe someone with that madel will chime in here.
 
all i will be doing with the computer is office stuff, maybe some web design and intermediate programming. will the 1.4 still be ok. Or will it get on my nerves after a while?
