Q: Circuit City: 24 months no interest over $999 http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/Search.do?c=1&searchType=user&keyword=dv9930us&searchSection=All Office Depot: not sure on the financing http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/420170/HP-Pavilion-dv9920us-Widescreen-Notebook-Computer/ I am going to buy an extended warranty through HP. Is $280 worth it for a TV Tuner and 70GB of extra hard drive space?
A: Differences between the two Pros of dv9930us : Core 2 Duo Processor (Better than AMD X2 in performance, heat generation and battery efficiency) Dedicated graphics card : nVidia 8600M GS, which is around 6~7 times faster than the integrated 7150 of dv9920us. More Hard disk space : 70GB more (not a significant difference) TV Tuner (again not a big deal..). Graphics card is the biggest difference among all. 8600M GS is a pretty decent mid-range card that will allow you to play even recent games at an acceptable level. While nVidia 7150 could barely even run older games well. If you have any intentions of gaming then dv9930us is the only choice, if not then dv9920us would be all right.
