I can't decide between these laptops.

The Intel Acer will be faster than the AMD but the gaming wise it's worse. However, the Gateway will be faster and be better for gaming then the Acer, but its $100 more. Will the Gateway be the best buy?

Hands down the i3-370 CPU and GT 320M Graphics.
Even so it won't be especially good at gaming.

I have an i7 with a gtx 260 so I'm not going to do much gaming on my laptop, but some basic gaming would be nice. I think thats what I've decided on too.

Another question, I've seen some things about the 320M only having drivers that come out once in a blue moon, is this true? That kind of deters me away from the 320M.

Not true.
Here's a partial list of Nvidia driver releases in the past year.
