Which of these computers would you get and why?

I can't make up my mind...

1. Gateway GT5468

Pentium Dual Core E2160 (1.8 GHZ)

2gb DDR2

Dual layer DVD+-RW/CD RW

400 GB Hard drive

Graphics media accelerator 950

$730

or

hp pavilion a6110n

Athlon 64x2 dual core 4400+ (2.3 GHZ)

2GB DDR2

Dual layer DVD+-RW with lightscribe

320 GB Hard drive

Nvidia geforce 6150 se graphics card

$680

But now, between this one, and this other?

HP Pavilion a6130n

Athlon 64x2 5000+ ( 2.6 GHZ)

3 GB DDR2 SDRAM

Double layer DVD+-RW/CD-RW with lightscribe

400 GB Hard Drive

Nvidia geforce 6150 se graphics card

$799

Is the extra ram and .3 in processor really worth it?

As i said in my other Q, i'm going to be gaming, watching movies and using large graphics with photoshop.

If you are going to be using Windows Vista, it requires a lot of RAM for you to be comfortable moving around windows. with that said, I would spend the extra money and get the 3GB DDR2 HP machine ($680). For what you will be doing (watching movies, gaming, and large graphics, the Athlon 64x2 dual core will work nicely. Hard drive space isn't really an issue. Upgrade when you need to, but it isn't worth the extra $100+ for that and the little difference you will see in the processor speed. If you are going to be gaming, I would take that extra money you will be saving and get a better PCI express graphics card. The Nvidia geforce 6150 is ok, but there are much much better out there as an add on that will significantly improve your gaming and movie experience.
