right now u would not notice any changes between the 2 so it doesn't matter which one u chose ...

**hongster** · 06-28-2008, 10:57 AM

hmm...then let me rephrase it: Which one would you buy?

**Dark_Clown** · 06-28-2008, 11:41 AM

none... i always assamble pcs myself coz its cheaper
but 2nd one

donruss73814 · 06-28-2008, 11:54 AM

i would probably go the second one as well, but im still on a 256mb ram computer, so these are way upgraded to what im used to, therefore my choice may not weigh much

All I want to say is that you're picking many expensive yet rather inefficient parts I would avoid in both PC's.

Still, it's A. though it honestly beats me why do you want OS HDD's with high RPM (Wanna save few seconds of Windows loading?) and why do you choose Vista (If you don't need your resources, then buy a weaker PC)

**hongster** · 06-28-2008, 01:12 PM

@macho, I'm not planning to buy any of them, just wanted opinions for them...I'm considering buying another PC and was thinking of buying a gaming rig and these 2 are one of the cheaper alternatives when it comes to gaming

**Darkest** · 06-28-2008, 01:16 PM

None of them. I just need one for word processing and surfing. >.>

**Apple Panties** · 06-28-2008, 01:42 PM

you saw mine $11k+, but second lol

justinefremlouw · 06-28-2008, 02:09 PM

i'd definitely go with the second one...the first one doesn't even have a CD/DVD burner?

BaltazarDZ · 06-28-2008, 03:05 PM

I'd take the first one. Since the difference rally isn't that great and my comp is for both programming and gaming. And yeah the warranty on the second one sucks arse. I mean one year Owo? My hard disk has 4 years not speaking on the other parts so yeah. one year seems kinda shady. Though I'd had completely different setup but that's not the discussion now =w=

Once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
