The second is a gateway T2330. And, yea you guessed it it uses the Intel "dual-core" T2330. It's very plain looking compared to the HP and lacks media center features. I can get it for $550 out the door.

Both come with 2GB memory.
I'm mainly going to be multitasking between web surfing, programming (VB+, VS2005, etc) and most likely the basic music and maybe even some old, outdated game playing. I'm looking for basically which laptop would preform/look better. I've generally heard the T2330 is the better of the two. I WILL be using Vista.
