I think FrEaK™ was trying to say that neither of those would be good at games. As you say you want to do some gaming (but not extreme) then you should try for a real video card. Something like this: (ps. This is a quick search, not a true recommendation)

Don't let the fact that I own 2000 acer stock change our mind

Then what you want to do is look for a Lap with a real video card (such as the 8600 in that acer). It will make a big difference in any game. And 2Gb is minimum recommended memory for Vista.

Good luck

Look for a 2.2ghz dual core with integrated graphics for best price/performance. Will play games liek Sims 2 fine, while still having a good CPU for other things.

Alright, from what I have seen the only people that sell white laptops are Acer & Asus & Apple (funny all A's ) anyways,

I have an Asus laptop (one of the ones below) and I am happy with it. This is all I could find in your price range in terms of white laptops that are not Acer
