I am about to purchase a laptop, and I was wondering if anyone had thoughts about mobile video chipsets.

I am on Dell's configuration screen (for a e1505) and they have the following options:

Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 [subtract $99]
128MB ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® X1300 HyperMemory™ [subtract $50]
256MB ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® X1400 HyperMemory™ [Included in Price]
256MB NVIDIA® GeForce™Go 7300 TurboCache [add $30 or $1/month1]

Do any of these chips work better than the others with Linux? I would like to have good 3d support, but it isn't as important as having good suspend support. I would also like the chip to be fairly cool when not flexing its 3d muscles.

FWIW, I would also be open to general laptop recommendations. Requirements are high-res screen, less than $1100, wifi. Bluetooth is a plus.
