...and need some help from fellow IW'ers.

I've narrowed it down to the two options below. They're almost identical but with the following differences:

Option 1: Acer Aspire 3022WLMi
CPU: AMD Mobile Sempron 2800+, ATI Radeon XPress 200.
Cache: L2 256kB
Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon X600 64MB

Option 2: Acer Aspire 1522WLMi
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3000+, VIA K8N800
Cache: L2 1MB
Graphics: NVidia GeForce FX Go5700 64MB, AGP 8X

How big is the difference in performance between option 1 and 2? Option 2 cost about 70 USD more and is currently out of stock local computer stores, but I might find it online. It also seems to have better sound hardware. Is the price difference, and possibly cost of buying it online, worth it?

Thanks!
