Which GFX Card

[tobeloy]

I am about to buy my first notebook, I have been recommended a Dell Inspiron 9400 as i was told parts are always cheap and available.

I know the notebook will handle all the day to day stuff like email and surfing that i do now on my desktop but I also want to be able to use it for some game playing and require it to play some of the latest games out today.

The model I am looking at has 2 models of graphics card to choose from and I would like to know which is the better of the 2 so your help is appreciated, the cards I can choose from are the:

256Mb ATI Radeon X1400 Pci Express x 16
or
256Mb Nvidia GeForce 7900GS PCI Express x 16

are either of these cards any good and also will I be able to upgrade the card in the future as I dont have lots of cash to spend on a new notebook every year, if you are interested in the system i wish to buy it is on this link:
