[stingygrrl]

64 MB Mobility RADEON 320M (shared) or 32 MB Radeon 7500 (not sure if shared - presario 1000 series)?

Oh yesss...
1st. the 7500 is not using shared RAM
2nd. 320M is based on Radeon VE (7000) and 7500 is based on... well 7500. More pipelines, double the memory bus width (128bit vs. 64bit shared)


I'd say the 7500 is 2x as fast atleast.

For some bonus in the 7500's favour, the 320M is also part of the lackluster ATI IGP320 chipset, which has horrid performance in a wide range of areas.
