Neither of these will game very well - the first one hardly at all. The graphics card is far more important when gaming.

What's your budget like? I'm sure we can do better than this.

You may also want to try ubid.com as they tend to sell a good bit if HP laptops most of which use the Nvida 9600 GT (512mb) or the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 with 1GB of RAM.

i'm not looking only for graphic card. And processor speed also matters right??
n in this case the diff. between the processing speed is also very large.
in 1st option i'm getting "2.53ghz" but with less graphic card
so i'm confused, whether i'd go for better processor or better graphic card
can u help me in that??
