So which video card is better, Mobility 9600 Pro or GeforceFX Go 5600?

I'll be buying a Dell Inspiron 8500 as soon as they start shipping with these cards. So which card should I go with assuming Dell offers both cards?

geforce 5600 fx isn't even out yet

if they are relative to their desktop siblings... then the 9600pro.

It's currently available and shipping in the Toshiba Satellite 5205-S705.

Now we just have to wait for stupid/slow dell and alienware to release laptops with them so we can benchmark them..

Aren't you going to wait for the 7200 RPM hard drives too? Currently DELL is only selling the 4200 RPM drives on their Inspirons (according to the Help Me Choose feature when customizing). 4200 to 7200 I assume would be a very very noticeable performance increase. Even 5400 to 7200 should be noticeable.

maybe u should wait for pci express too, and intel's updated wireless standard for centrino.... so much waiting , so little time, just get the best valued laptop for ur need.
