That proves that on average, an 8500GT (which is a better card than 8400GT and therefore the 9300) loses heavily to a 2600PRO. That laptop has weak graphics, so that's why it's that cost. Between those two, the 2600PRO one gets better performance.
Please, please don't get the 8400 one. It will suck.
Ubuntu. Linux for human beings.
