I'm looking to buy a new laptop and was looking at the Dell M6300 but noticed the graphics card seems slower than the one on the M90 the M6300 is replacing.
My man at Dell tells me the M6300 is quicker, but looking at the specs on Nvidea's site, the M90's Quadro FX3500M is a 256 bit card with 38.4GB/sec memory bandwith compared to the 128 bit card with 25.6GB/sec memory bandwith on the Quadro FX 1600M in the M6300. Is the 1600M actually quicker, or is it just that Dell makes up for the loss with the rest of the manchine?
I've also just read about the HP Compaq 8710w which is based on the Santa Rosa platform. This looks like the best of the bunch at the moment, but this has also got hte Quadro 1600M card. Anyone got any thoughts?
