Which laptop graphics card is good?

Greetings:

If you were bying a lappy today one has 128MB ATI Mobility Radeon 9700
+ Pentium M 1.8GHz, the other 128MB Geforce FX Go5700 + Pentium 4 3.0E
GHz w/ HT. Both are comparable in price i.e ~$2100. Which one will
you pick?

Your comment and advise is greatly appreciated.

Just want to do some light 3D model (less than 1000 features, helical
sweep, a bit of surfacing, a lot of patterning features, family table
part & assembly, assembly with less than 20 components with family
table) while on the plane and on vacation.

 

If I were you, I would take ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 (better for CAD than
GeForce FX 5700)

As I mentioned in the other post, the Radeon Mobility is big trouble.
Ben is having his work fine on his home DESKTOP machine, but the
Radeon is not the same as the Radeon Mobility found in laptops.

Thank you all for your additional input.

Even though many users don't recommend ATI Mobility Radeon, I am still
going with Dell. If ATI giving me too much trouble, I may have a
chance to upgrade to Nvidia card later. Effectively, based on my own
research most of Inspiron 8xxx series display adapter is upgradable in
the past. I can't vouch the same thing for HP though.
