[QUOTE="Kash, post: 400738, member: 23444"] For starters, the extra 170MHz is rather negligible. The performance boost isn't worth the amount of money you have to pay for it. Now for the video card. The extra RAM is only useful for applications that can actually use it, such as 3D modeling and 3D games. If all you'll be doing is 2D graphics work with very little 3D modeling, then 128MB is more than enough. Then again, if you're doing heavy 3D modeling work, you wouldn't be looking at a laptop :P The only reason you might want to go for the upgrade is if you have the spare cash and to stave off your future upgrade a little longer.
