Compaq or Fujitsu notebook?

Compaq or Fujitsu notebook? I'm not sure which one to buy, please help me thanks. You might not find Fujitsu on their respective website as it is a special offer given by the school. Im looking something of a gaming system as well as a workstation.

1. I have to say that the compaq has the better cpu, but form then on the Fujitsu takes the cake. It has 4GB of DDR3 ram, that is rare in a laptop, if you don't know that is a selling point in on it's self. The compaq has 2GB of ram whihc is becoming sub standard and barely workable for vista. The fugitsu takes the cake in having a better gpu for games plus it comes with a MUCH better Warrenty. Thesemanufacturers are all the same, I don't care if it's acer of dell fujitsu or hp/ compaq, they all provide the same quality, the difference is what will they give you for the money, if they are reaosnably priced, go with the fujitsu. Hands down they are begging for your buisness while compaq is expecting you to buy off of name recognition
