Looking at your Gateway. 4G of RAM...wow! You might want to research that 64 bit Vista. Aren't they having problems with 64 bit?

Whatever you buy I would get the 3 yr. extended warranty.

I wouldn't buy Toshiba, HP or Compaq. It you want to step up from Gateway buy a Lenovo.

I also would recomend buying direct from the factory. I waited for a sale and got $200 off. I almost ordered online but it's a good thing I didn't. I called and the sales person saw that I was a repeat customer and knocked another $125 off. Total savings was $325. Also by buying direct, they send you all the software.
