Which one is better for gaming given the specs? I realize the Toshiba only has 2 gigs, and if I do purchase that one, it will be upgraded to 4. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16834114446 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16834115474I am having a hard time picking. I would like to be able to mash the two together to get what I want.

The Toshiba runs at 2100mhz with a dual 8600M video card and 2gig of memoryThe Acer runs at 2400mhz with a 9500GS video card and 4gig of memoryIMHO (educated guess) is that for EQ2 which relies more on CPU speed over Video that the Acer's extra 300mhz will mean more than the faster video on the Toshiba. Considering that the Acer is $200 less helps too SMILEY<img src=

" />That extra memory will help also. You pay a real premium for that Dual 8600M.So for EQ2 the Acer is better.Now for other games that can fully use your video card and multi-core CPUs and the Toshiba might be better.-JB
