X1400 about equal to Radeon 9800

[deedeeman]

I agree with flanken and Chazman............
Desktop and Notebook cards are different in terms of performance.....usually desktop cards are faster.

take a look at the desktop 6600 and the notebook 6600:

Desktop: Core: 300MHz@ 2400Mp/s Mem: 700MHz @ 11.2GB/sec
Notebook: Core: 300Mhz/375MHz/etc. Mem: 600/700MHz @ 9.6GB/s / 11.2GB/sec

get the idea?

um
I am fairly sure the x1400 is a 9700, so it would be faster than your 9600 xt

But not a worth upgrade, if you can understand that. going from 30 fps on Minimum settings to 35 fps on minimum settings, isint worth it to me,
