PC4200 DDR2 SoDIMM vs. DDR SDRAM

ok, looking into a new laptop.

have it narrowed down to 2.

there's a $200.00 difference between them.

1 has 512MB of PC4200 DDR2 SoDIMM

the other has 1GB of DDR SDRAM.

It's the lesser expensive one that has the 1GB of DDR.

So, is their something special about the PC4200 stuff, or am I ok going with the DD2 especially where it's 1GB?

the 2 laptops are about the same, the only real difference I see is the more expensive one has 64MB DDR SDRAM (dedicated) the other has 128MB (shared).

I know dedicated is better, but where I don't plan on doing a lot of graphics or games, I figure I should be fine.
