As you can see, we were forced to compare the video the video chips in two different systems. The system that was used for the Mobility Radeon 7500 has a 100MHz speed advantage over the system used for testing the GeForce4 440 Go. At the same time, the GeForce4 440 Go system has 256MB more memory than the Mobility Radeon 7500 test setup. Overall, the processor speed will make a larger difference in gaming than the increase from 256MB to 528MB of memory.
