The HP has a nice videocard, and it comes with vista, it's the best for gaming and it has a good core to it also. I would take that one, although it's expensive, it's worth it.
I got a dell laptop with gb of ram 80gb hdd and amd x2 tl-50 and 15.5 lcd for 640 with free shipping and vista upgrade. But if you want gamingish, the hp you posted has the best vid card, so get that.
