Graphics help

I've come to a pathway, Ive found two laptops which I like, the only decider is the graphics.

XPRESS 200 vs GeForce Go 6150

These are the systems that they're in:

XPRESS 200: Hp Compaq Presario V5101AU: AMD Turion64 ML-32 (1.8GHz)/ 512MB/ 60GB/ 15.4WXGA/ DL DVDRW/ 802.11 a/b/g/ WLAN/ Bluetooth/ XPHome

Go 6150: Hp Compaq Presario V3020AU: Turion Dua Core TL-50(1.6GHz)/ 512MB/ 14.1WXGA/ 60GB/ DVDRW/ 802.11BG/ XPPro - Promotion!

So, which one would be the winner? Which would be better for really casual light gameplay? (CSS on low, maybe fifa 2006)

My mate has the first one and he plays Operation Flashpoint perfectly (only thing he plays), but either way, i would go for the 6150.

Based on this review the ATI/Radeon is quicker - but I'd still get the Geforce 6150 for two reasons:

(1) Dual core. That'll probably compensate for the different GPU performance easily.

(2) XP Pro (not that it matters, but I prefer XP Pro to XP Home).

The smaller screen on the V3020AU may also be an advantage for you.

Thanks, I think i'll go for the V3020, only about $99 more, so I think that's a pretty good deal. Will upgrade the ram to 1gb, and get a nice external for it.
