I'm just wondering which one would best suite the system requirments for Spore, crysis, and others.

1) Gateway - Laptop with Intel® Centrino® Processor Technology

2) Gateway - Laptop with Intel® Centrino® 2 Processor Technology

They're both pretty similar. #2 uses a lot newer technology at the expense of storage.

The 2 graphics cards are comparable. Spore will run fine at the highest settings on them. You'll be pushing your luck with Crysis unless you play it on High using DX9.

Crysis runs much better using DX9 on high than DX10 at the same settings. So use that. You'll have plenty of room left over after installing Crysis (just over 6GB) and Spore (just under 4GB).
