Don't go by any graphs. Those only represent typical values. The 
processes used for MOSFETs have huge tolerances in threshold voltage, 
easily +/-30%. The only values to go by are guaranteed max Rdson values 
for a stated gate drive voltage. Typically two to five different gate 
drive voltages are spec'd. Must be in the tables.
