    So I'm trying to make a decision here. I'm pretty much down to an Alienware M14x that comes with the 1.5gb 555m or an Asus G73 from Best Buy that comes with the GTX 460m, but at 128 bit. If both screens are at 1600 x 900, is there a big difference between the two in terms of performance? I know the 460m is the better card but with the 128 bit does that even it out? Thanks.

    Alot of people say the 555M can pretty much overclock to the performance of a stock 460M. So it may be about even. On the m14x though you can game on a lower res (1366x768 is fine for gaming and is still supported)
