What's better?
In terms of gaming, I have the Nvidia GeForce 8200m, and has 1gb of total allocated memory, but i dunno what's better.

I know there not paticuarly good cards, but still..

For games such as football manager's etc..

Neither is a gaming card. The Intel 4500 will usually say "I give up!" and crash to a black screen if you throw anything more strenuous than a flash video at it. The 8200m will at least take a crack at the game, but it will only manage on the very lowest settings with modern games, and may have a laggy framerate.

I'm assuming you dont have either of the Notebooks yet.
But, if you can try them out in a store, how about logging on to http://www.yougamers.com to see if your favorite games will run on them.

Off the top of my head, I'm sure that the 8200m would trounce the Intel card, but if you want a look at more detailed figures, have a look at http://www.gpureview.com and compare them.
