Don't know which computer to get.?

I just asked this question but I want as many opinions and as much explanation as possible please! which one is a better deal? which one would you buy and why?: 1)HP – Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit) – Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Quad processor Q9400 [2.66GHz, 6MB L2, 1333MHz FSB] – 6GB DDR2-800MHz dual channel SDRAM [4 DIMMs] from 4GB – 640GB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive from 500GB – 512MB ATI Radeon HD 4650 [DVI, VGA, HDMI] – LightScribe 16X max. DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive – Integrated 10/100/1000 (Gigabit) Ethernet, No wireless LAN – 15-in-1 memory card reader, 2 USB, 1394, audio – No TV Tuner w/remote control – Integrated 7.1 channel sound with front audio ports – HP USB 2.0 stereo speakers – HP keyboard and HP optical mouse – Microsoft(R) Works 9.0 – Norton Internet Security(TM) 2009 - 15 month – HP Home & Home Office Store in-box envelope --HP w2338h 23-inch Diagonal 16:9 Full HD Widescreen Monitor $1,063.98 2)Dell -Intel® Core™ 2 Quad processor Q9400 (6MB L2, 2.66GHz, 1333FSB) -Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition SP1, 64-Bit -Microsoft® Works 9 (Does not include Microsoft Word) -1Yr Ltd Hardware Warranty, InHome Service after Remote Diagnosis -4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz- 2 DIMMs -640GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache -23" Dell S2309W Full HD Widescreen Monitor -16X DVD+/-RW Drive -ATI Radeon HD 4350 512MB -Dell AX210 1.2 Watt 2.0 Stereo Speakers $944 I don't know if I should get a better graphics card. I'm not going for super amazing quality but i don't want it to just look aweful, and it's a 23 inch screen. The games i'll be playing are ones like the sims 3, age of empires, roller coaster tycoon, etc. not crysis or fallout or any first person shooters like that. i could get a 768MB NVIDIA GeForce 9600GS [DVI, VGA, HDMI] for the HP for $70 more but the dell only has that one to choose from. I think the only other real difference is the memory.

  1. get the hp one, only 100$ more
  2. Eww.. HP and Dell? Vista 64 bit? You're going to regret either purchase
  3. Get the HP!! It's a little more money, but it has a lot more stuff on it than the Dell.
  4. If u specify the mother series.. it doesn't mention there.. weather it is G31 or G41.. but u know everything is going to depend on motherboard... processor and Hdd . u know dell got something good with that hdd.. it hass databurst cache .. it might be size about 15 to 16 mb cache
  5. I'm not sure but I do believe the 9600GS is better than the 4650, so the dell with the better graphics card will be cheaper. The only difference being the graphics card and the HP has 2 gigs more of ram, that you probably wouldnt use anyway.
