Of the 2 that you listed I would go with the JP, and like it was said ealier if you use Vista you have to have atleast 2GB and that's only if you do basic stuff on it. I wouldn't get any less the a 3GB, but 4GB is way better as it allows you to more things at once. I wouldn't get no less then a 2.0gb processer. I have a solider that has that same toshiba. He's had it for about 8 months now and it's freezing up on him all the time when doing basic programs. He doesn't have a lot of stuff on it, but the memory is only 2GB. I built my Dell and it has a 2.0 GB dual core. 4GB ram 160 GB HDD. Mine is a $1600 laptop that I paid $1100 for, and it's set up for gaming which I dont play. More for muiltitasking. and it's HI Def. Dell use's a lot of their parts from many companys, I've used dell for the last 5 years. Most all military desktop and laptops are Dell. Look into building one for what you want. I'm sure you can get a really good one for about $500.
