How exactly do you figure that?
The Asus should be the choice because of the DDR3 memory (however small a difference it may be)
If you were going by the 64-bit OS in the Compal, it should be remembered that they're still ironing out the kinks in that, and it may be problematic until that time...

Asus with upgrade to 4gb ram & 7200 hd

The 7200RPM hd would improve the load times, but the 32 bit OS wouldn't be able to recognize much more than 3GB of RAM.

Re: futureproof gaming (what configuration to choose)
For Gaming, I'd go with the ASUS. It will have a slightly more robust GPU because of the GDDR3 RAM. Also, the processor in the ASUS, while not as fast as the Compal, is more than adequate for gaming. The extra RAM is very very nice, but if you are using a 32 bit operating system you are only going to be able to utilize about 3.2 GB of that ram anyway.
Even if it is a 5400 RPM drive, I'd also prefer the extra 60GB that the Asus Hard Drive includes, space is at a premium on a mobile computer, 100GB is incredibly constraining, especially when you start installing modern games that take up at least 5GB each.
For gaming, or gaming related anything, the Asus is the way to go.
For general use, the Compal is fine.
I vote for the Asus.
