Buying a new gaming laptop for chankast...Ati Mobility X800 or GeForce 6800Go?

[isamu]

Hi guys. Well I'm just about to pull the trigger on a killer mobile desktop to take to work and I wanna play some Chankast.....I've decided to go with the *Sager 9860*, as it appears to offer a lot of goodies that I'm looking for.

Anyway what graphics card should I put into my laptop...the Ati Mobility X800 or the nVidia GeForce Go 6800? And why.

Here are the specs....



Windows XP Professional
P4 3.6GHZ w/2MB L2 Cache EM64T (660)
2048 MB 533DDR2 (2 DIMMS)
60GB 7200rpm

Total cost $4200(includes "No dead pixel policy", free shipping, 2 year Warrentech warranty)

I really want to know which gfx to buy between the two and would be interested in knowing which will run Streetfighter III and Daytona Network 2001 better?

Cheers

Mobility X800. ATi cards don't have the stretched vertices issue that all nVidia cards have with Chankast, and prolly other issues.

X800 because it is faster than the normal 300/300 6800 Go.

...unless that 6800 Go is the Ultra model at 450/550 speeds. Then it is much faster:

Excellent thank you! For what it's worth, Sager will be offering the 6800Go Ultra in about a month or so, but given the comments I've read similar to cooliscool's, I think I'm leaning towards ATI.

Well I say Nvidia, but thats just me. I love nVidia compared to ATI --- I got a voodoo in my 2nd pc, then a nvidia geforce 4 ti4200, and now my 6600gt.

ati all-the-way
WHY?
u will have up to 60% more battery life (nvidia 6 series DREANCH power
chankast likes ati more
less power means less overheating
gordon freeman likes ati more
ruby is hotter than a murmaid
