Off topicness but I don't want to post a new thread... Could someone PM me or explain here what's best between 256 Mb ATi HD 2600 XT and 256 Mb GeForce 8600 GTS?

I want to know to play games... And I must admit, I'm a total graphic card n00b. I won't play games like Crysis and such, so I don't need a uber thing, but I'll need something that will be good enough for some years...

I need to choose between them because they're the only ones that come with the XPS 420.

8600GTS is perhaps 5-10% better than the 2600XT in games, but 2600XT is better at video playback and should be $50 cheaper too. If the 2600XT is cheaper, go with that.
