nividia vs gma x3100

[quanton]

I'm considering buying an older macbook with a 2.4 processor or a new 2.0 but am not sure what the real differences are with the video card performance...

will the newer nividia based card help with the small video/dvd projects i like to do or is this card mostly for better gaming/etc???

any help on the different characteristics of the cards would be helpful...

thanks-

I have always wondered why forums have a thing called "Search".
Anyway, the Intel is crap no matter what. The nVidia will be better even if you are browsing iPhoto.

There isn't much of a comparison, the new nvidia's are leagues ahead of the intels in the previous gen macbook

Due to the improved FSB, and graphics processor, the new MacBooks out-pace previous versions of the MacBook. The 4,1 BlackBook maybe the exception since, I've seen threads where it's performance is almost on par with the base 2.0GHz Al MacBook, however, the Al MacBook still had a small advantage.

What is better for gaming, most definitely the new Al MacBooks. What is better for you? That's for you to decide.
