    GeForce Go7300 eh? That's perplexing considering that there have been no announcements about it yet.....sounds like it's a replacement for the Go6200.

    There's a review of the graphics performance of the A6Vm at http://www.hkepc.com/hwdb/g72m-1.htm . The words may be difficult to understand, but the table at the end, which compares the GFG7300 with the GFG6300 is easy to read.

    The website doesn't show up for me. Is the link correct? If it is could you possibly give a summery of the performance?

    The link works fine for me. I'm in the UK and using Firefox, if that makes a difference. My source for the link is http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=27954 .

    Broadly, the 7300 is around 10% to 20% faster than the 6200 for most of the results, except for 4XAA when the increase is more than 50%.

    Thanks for the link (also using firefox and the link is now working again). A 10% increase is not great, especially when considdering the 6200 not to stellar performance in the first place. Too bad no one mentions battery consumption.

    Not very well, its has about 10% performace gain when compared to the 6200. But remember that these cards should be in thin and light notebooks. If you want a good card wait for the x1600, that will be roughly twice the performace of the mr x700! and 3 to 4 times when compared to the mr x600.
