Default Not sure which pc is better. I need help :/

I have a conundrum on my hands. I am looking at two laptops here, both by the same company (Gateway) and i'm not sure of which one to get.
Here are the specs for the laptops.
___________________________________________
Laptop 1. Intel Centrino Duo Processor Technology
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
Windows Vista Home Premium
4GB DDR2 memory
320GB Hard Drive
15.4 Ultra WideScreen
Integrated webcam and microphone.
$749.99

Laptop 2. Intel Pentium Dual-Core Mobile Processor
Windows Vista Home Premium
3GB DDR2 memory
160GB Hard Drive
Integrated webcam and microphone
Integrated 802.11g Wireless LAN
$499.99
___________________________________________
So there are the specifications. I don't know which one to choose. I am mostly going to be using the laptop for games such as Warcraft3 or Battle Field 2. I will also be using the laptop for the internet and photoshop. I am in school (11th grade) so I need a laptop that will at least get me through college. These two came up to me as the perfect choice for me but I don't know if Pentium is better then Centrino. I also don't know if I need to have so much memory and speed for what I plan on using it for. My budget is about $600 but I want one of these that will last me a while. So, anyone care to help me out?

If anyone could help me decide soon I would gladly appreciate it. The prices will raise up in two days and I need to be absolutly positive in my choice.
