Nvidia Geforce 9500M GS Vs Geforce GO 8600GT

Hellooo..

I'm just seeking some knowledge on the two video cards. I went to the Nvidia website and couldn't find where the 9500M was ranked within their graphics card series so i couldn't really compare the 8600GT with the 9500M. I'm planning to get a laptop and Two laptops came up. So now i'm wondering which one of these are better.
Could anyone give me any feedback on any one of these?

Alsooooo. Just to clarify, one of the laptop also has a Intel Core 2 Extreme X9000 (2.8GHz/45nm/800Mhz/6MB L2 Cache) processor and the other has a Intel T9500 45nm "Penryn Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz. Which one of these are better?

Thanks.

With regards to the 9500 vs 8600, they are both about equal with the 9500 coming out slightly on top.

The X9000 is the better CPU, but in most cases it will cost you a boat load more than the T9500.

Hello and welcome to the forums mate

Yes the 9500MGS and 8600MGT perform very close

about the CPU the X9000 is faster but the difference isn't much and also it produces more heat that T9500, if u want to buy one of those i say go for T9300 because it is @ 2.5GHZ is the best price performance CPU
