Which is better ATI Radeon X1700 with Duo T5600 or X1400 with Duo T7200?

Question

Which is a better combination for gaming performance??

Answer 1

Both of those cards would be a bottleneck for performance since both procs are pretty good.

Are you sure you got the ATI model's right? I didn't know ATI had an X1700 or X1400. closest I see is the x1600 series and x1800 series and the x 1300 and x1500 series.

These are all "Last Year" models. Go for the HD series...if you're bound to ATi or the 8800 series or better for nvidia.

Answer 2

I would stay away from those laptops.  They are very old chipsets with newer CPU's stuck on them.  The x1000 series of ATI graphics chips are at least 3 years old to date...  As new as those processors are they should have been paired up with at least x3200 ATI mobility or x3400.  I think the manufacture was trying to unload some old stocked motherboards out of inventory and installed better CPU's on them.  Once you buy a laptop you're stuck with that profile, it cannot be changed.  I would look elseware for a better combination, even those two processors are awsome for laptop solutions...
