If you get vista I would reccomend 1gig of ram due to the fact that, that is reccomended by microsoft. I would not discount dell, as they often have excellent deals. I would run a search on google for dell coupons and see if you can turn up any discount codes that can be used online. These are failry common to find and you can get some good deals. At the time I got my laptop I found a $700 off coupon, so search around.
 
of those the Toshiba is for sure the fastest, but like said above you will need at least 1 gig of ram to take advantage of what Vista has to offer
