Practically Identical in the way that they will all fail on you. But if you had to choose, go with the GT.

HD3470 ftw. ( roughly same as 8400gs )

Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GHz, 4 GB ram, 250 GB, 15.4

€526

All the cards your listed in your post, are really low end OP compared to desktops.

It would be madness to pay an extra €300 to change 8400gs to 8600gt :eek:

This 8600gt one might be worth looking at, they are only charging you a €150 premium for it, you do get hdmi connection, card reader and 1.3 Megapixel camera though.
