    The first one. The graphics card has much more influence over how games play than the processor, and the T7400 isn't a huge leap over the T2400. Get two gigs of RAM in the first one, and you should be fine.

    Laptop 1 has much more gaming potential. I'd also up it to 2 GB of RAM If possible.

    I chose #2 because i believe that very soon you will see next-gen games using more RAM and CPU than they do today. ;)
