So I have taken what you guys have said about laptops into consideration and went searching around and came up with this

What do u think?

I am going overseas this summer and would like a netbook to write/use the internet/ watch tv shows on. I would like to spend around 300 and these are the best choices I have come up with but I can't decide which one.

They both have about the same specs but the gateway comes with XP and the MSI comes with 7 Starter and a free case. The processor chips are different as well (gateway = 450 and msi = 280). Any suggestions? Thanks!

I just put a new PC together and have been experiencing random freezes where I am unable to open the task manager and am forced to manually restart the computer.  I opened the side of the case, put a huge fan blowing in and ran speedfan and noticed that  my computer stops freezing even when I left it alone overnight.  However, when I run a game like Far Cry 2 or Crysis it always freezes very quickly.  The temperature of my graphics card (gtx260) gets to about 60C on speedfan. I am running:
Intel Duo E8500

4 GB (2X2gb) corsair Ram

EVGA GTX260

Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX mobo

It seems like this is a heat problem but I didnt realize that my computer would completely freeze even with two pc fans and a giant fan blowing directly into my case.  If anyone thinks this is actually a different problem I am overlooking, could you let me know? Also, what would you suggest as a good (preferably inexpensive) cooling alternative to purchase? Thanks!
