I have decided between one of these 2 laptops that I am going to purchase, but Im not sure which will be better for me. I like to play somewhat newer games, and I really want to play games like Fallout 3 (im not looking for ultra high graphics) Which one would be better for me?

The one equipped with the better CPU is the better machine. DDR2 vs. DDR3 matters very little - you'll see only small performance increases changing them. However, bumping your CPU up 400MHz is a pretty big change, and will yield a much much larger performance delta.
