d620 vs. d630

I have to buy a laptop for my daugther a laptop for college. Her univeristy has two deals I'm considering:

d620:

Intel Core 2 Duo T5600, 1.83GHz, 667Mhz,

14.1 inch Wide Screen WXGA+ LCD

Memory 1.0GB, DDR2-667 SDRAM

Video Card 256MB NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M

80 GB Hard Drive 9.5MM, 7200RPM

d630:

Intel Core 2 Duo T73000, 2.0 GHz, 800MHz

Display: 14.1 inch Wide Screen WXGA+

memory: 1.0GB, DDR2-667 SDRAM

Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 Latitude D630

120GB Hard Drive 9.5MM, 7200RPM

The d620 is about $150 less. It seems like graphics verus faster cpu and more disk storage.

I'm leaning toward the d620 because of the video card

If I want the d620 I have to make a decison by 5/30. Opinions?

Thanks

I have the same issue with the 820 & 830. I am leaning towards the 820 because of the video chip issue. I am no fan of Intel integrated video chips. Now if you are not in a hurry, Dell will have some type of optional video chips available for the 630 & 830 Latitudes later with even DX10 compatibiltiy as a rumour ;) I am looking tonight at a $667 savings on a 820 tonight, and the 830 does not seem to offer me much in improvements that are in important. Or, I might even jump ship for a discontinued Lenovo T60. Decisions, decisions.

There's no video card in either system - the video is either chipset-integrated or soldered onto the mainboard.

There is a version of the 630 to come that will have a separate video chip, so if you want that feature with the newer chipset of the 630 (vs. the 620) wait a bit, assuming it's not going to be needed until August/September.
