    Just a guess but I'd say the Ati would be better since even though it has shared RAM the laptop has more RAM in the first place, and would be better

    The 7600 is much higher powered, and if you really need more ram, you can upgrade it, unlike video card which you can't change

    Coming form a 7600 GT owner i's say go for the 7600! My freind has a X1600pro 512 mb with an AMD 64 3400+ and I still get better resluts in every game except for Far cry.

    I have a 7600 in my laptop its not bad but there are two versions one with 64bit memory and one with 128bit memory obviously the former is a lot slower, my laptop has the 64bit one its 256Mb but only 128Mb is real the other is turbocache, not sure what the toshiba is (7600 64/128 or GT ) but even if its the slow one like mine it will still be better than a x1400.

    As an indicator for performance look here

    My 7600 with a C2D 1.83Ghz scores 1600 in 3dm06.

    The 7600 will outperform the X1400. There's really not much of a contest there. If it was a X1650, it might be closer.

    Wow, thank you for that thoughtful, well-worded comment.

    And, just for the rebuttal, wait for R600 before spending the tons of cash for a 8800.
