Which of the llano mobile graphics is gaming-grade?

[SonicTron]

I have a core 2 laptop with a 9800 M GTS in it and I've looking to move to something thinner, lighter, and with comparable or better graphics performance. There are so many variations of llano and not a lot that I see comparing it, and especially not good benchmarks comparing framerate.

You're not trying very hard are you?

A friend of mine got a A6 to run Starcraft 2 on high but I think the 9800M is higher class. That said I think Llanos are more heat/energy friendly.

all will be a downgrade. the llano's gpu is about 20%-40% slower than a 9600gt, and the 9600gt is 15%-25% slower than a 9800gt. however 1366x768 the llano is playable in quite a few games on low or ultra low settings and even a couple on medium. if you can live with reduced graphics (unless you get a laptop where you can throw your card into) than you can get a cpu that will at least match up with a core 2 and even beat them in some tests.

if you can swing the extra $0- $200 that a 460m laptop like re-certified dell from newegg will cost it would be a significant upgrade. the a8 llano's very quite a bit in price from $500 to a $1000 so i cant say how much if any you would have to pay to get into the 460m
