Hey, I just joined the forums....2 minutes ago... and I have a quick question for you guys. I buy my laptops at Costco because they have the best warranty I could ever hope to find (return it within 6 months and get all your money back no questions asked) and I am coming to the point where I have to return my laptop...This weekend... So, I was wondering which of these two laptops I should get:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Compaq Presario 2500: $1599.99
2.6 Ghz
1 GB DDR memory
60 Gb HD
64 Mb Radeon Graphics (shared memory however)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Compaq Presario 3000: $1799.99
2.8 Ghz
512 DDR-RAM
60 Gb HD
4 USB 2.0 ports
802.11b wireless
SiS m650 Shared Memory Video card
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I dont really care much about the prices, how it looks and what not, what I am really worried about is the graphics. I play games on my laptop. NON-STOP, so I really want a good graphics card. My current laptop has a 32mb ATI Mobility Radeon 7500. I would like to know, do either of these two have better graphics than my current laptop? And which is stronger (since they are both shared memory, which is horrible)?

Thanks for any responses in advance ^_^

Yes, but that shared memory means its the integrated radeon, which is dog slow.

Yeah, I see your point, but what about the SiS m650, I looked at some articles about it although they really didnt help.... and I forgot to say, both of those processors are p4, not even mobile unfortunatly

naw, they only have 4 at a time, some times I get lucky and grab a laptop like I got now, but I at least want a good laptop to hold me over.... Its not like I am asking for perfect graphics in Star Wars Galaxies (which my brothers G4 does wonderfully) but I want a decently good laptop... There are some other Costcos I can go to and I am planning on checking them out, I just checkd my reciept, I have untill next month on the 13th, so I have a bit of time to check if the other ones DO have better options..... Although I am still disappointed with Costco -_-
