Gateway 7510GX vs. 8510GZ

[sephroth777]

Looking to get either one of these notebooks. Primarly I will be gaming with World of Warcraft and dual booting Win XP and Linux. Which would be best for my needs?
Thanks!

Both will play WoW fine.

7510 for portability

8510 for performance

X700>X600, but 64MB VRAM on the X700 is limiting

 

[sephroth777]

Would the 128Vram on the 7510 equal the 64Vram on the X700?

No.

X700 = 8 pixel piplines
X600 = 4 pixel pipelines

128MB VRAM helps with stuttering, but not with overall performance

If you get hte 8510, get 1GB RAM for sure
