whats better a mobile x700 or a mobile radeon 9700

thinking of taking my notebook with a x600 256mb graphic back and getting one with an x700 128mb and or a 9700 with 128mb. which one is better? also where can i find out the clock of these cards?

my mobile 9700 64mb one kicks some butt - to me @ least : - i onl got 512 of ram which kills HL2 for me - i can run it @ 800 x 600 with medium setting - but it is always access my HD

is a 9800 256mb mobile an option ? this one is based on the x800 Core but down tone - it is the fastest AGP laptop video card you can get.

Oh? I thought they had X800 and 6800 Ultra mobiles.

The Desktop X700 is the far better card of the two Desktop cards - this should hold true with the notebook versions as well.

I would get the X700 for the GDDR3 alone.

they do however the 6800 are all x-press not agp, so they are all with p4's. i have a p4 3ghz now but i want a 64bit amd. my last notebook was a 2.2 and sandra benched the amd faster in everything but video and memory so i really want to get another amd. i was just looking at the acer and it comes with x700. i wasnt sure if the x700 with 128mb ram would be better or worse than the x600 with 256mb or ram that i currently have. this here x600 got a good score in 3dmark2001se:




im just lookin go for the best since this is my only pc.
thanks for you input

yes there are x800 and 6800 are PCIe

what they did was ATi made one last high end AGP vid card for laptops - the result was them just taking the x800 core and calling it the mobile 9800 256mb - so in the end the card should O/C well in a laptop

Mobile 9700 is really a highly clocked 9600, right? 4 pipes?

oh ya? thats not that good then cuz the 9600 is only on a 128bit pipeline. i totally want something on a 256bit line. that what the current video cards run.
