Default Which of The Two Should I Get?

-Can't post links, but you can find them both on Cnet.com with full specs.

This:

HP Pavilion a6750y:
Processor: AMD Phenom X4 9650 (2.3 GHz) ; RAM installed: 8 GB DDR2 SDRAM ; Hard drive: 750 GB Standard

or

This:

HP Pavilion a6720y:
Processor: AMD Phenom X4 9550 (2.2 GHz) ; RAM installed: 6 GB DDR2 SDRAM ; Hard drive: 640 GB Standard

The 750 has two more gigs of ram, but the 720 is cheaper and had a ton of great reviews on (I believe it was) Amazon?

So my question is this: I'm planning on going with the a6720y - for the price, if all I'll be doing is basic internet browsing, playing music files, burning CD's, and the use of an occasional program like Adobe Photoshop or possibly even some music program, is this good enough? Or is it a shitty brand/comp/whatever? Is there something "not good" about it? Or perhaps I can possibly get a better machine for the money? Or is this, again, "good enough and possibly "more" than I what I need?

Any comments/opinions/suggestions would be great.

Thanks!
