Hmm, for some reason I was thinking that had the same 310M. The 360M GTS is faster than the 5730. Get that then.

 

Okay the graphics are better and the processing is better than the i7 right?

For most games the i5 is better than the i7, yes. But for games that use more than 2 cores, the i7 will be stronger. To my knowledge there are only very few games that actually use more than 2 cores though.

Isn't the i5 a quad though?

It's a dual core. You can make it a virtual quad though with hyperthreading. If you do that though it will essentially cut the core speeds in half.

Both of them can blow that game out of the water. My T500 which has a weaker Core 2 Duo P8400 and a weaker Radeon 3650 doesn't have any problems running that game.
