yeh, im just looking and pricing up 2 computers, ive got my 2 but im a little unsure which i should get, they are both the same price, (i added accesories of my choice, because i want them, the 2 systems are exactly what i want, BUT i can only choose 1, i am not adding or taking off anything!)

ok the 2 systems are, bearing in mind, i am a complete gamer nooob :D.

Same price and im picking one of them ? i allready know both of these systems will play Call of duty 4 all on high, and basically any game that it gets thrown. and if not on all high then very close, so as i said question is help me decide :) which would you pick....??

the reason ium leaning towards system 1 is because system 2, as far as i know with the Quad core isnt really worth getting yet, and vista is still having problems, so system 1 is winning by a way at *** minute but i would love your views and opinions..

Thanks ;)
 
there both from the same place, both same set of computers, and as far as a phew people have said and previews, the Core™ 2 Duo E6850 is better than Q6600 Quad Core for gaming, and vista is still very unstable. so thats why im on system 1 still :(
 
Ok, the 32 bit and 64 bit, What actually are these ! (and the 4gb is a free upgrade from 2 gig why say no ! :P).

i just dont get what they are...32 xp or 64 xp, any differences ! ? Coffuzzzzled i am!

apart from that, what about as i mentioned gaming wise, is the quad core good for gaming ?

basically Boils down to ''For Gaming'' :

Q6600 Quad Core 2.4ghz vs Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E6850 3.0ghz
And
Vista Home vs Xp Home

And yes this is from blah de blah (told off) Used them before and there great ! (am i allowed to say the website on here sorry if im not) only going thorugh them because there 1 of the only phew that do finances, its one of there computers, customized to my liking, only thing is theres limit to what you can customise which is a bummer...like with this i can only chose 4 gb of ram, No less

thanks :D

(and once again remember its for gaming :) )

from blah de blah, i customised one of there machines, and selected form the options they gave me so it should be all compatible lol ! doubt they would let you choose things that arnt compatible without telling you !, so yeh i picked all that and no errors or nothing came up so its just waiting to be paid for..

PLEASEEEEE tell me what you think, as in is it a good machine, and again gaming wise, i really dont know but thats all i can afford, and as far as searching around goes that what ive come up with...and another quesion will it be future proof as i want it to last 3 years without having to make big changes !

Thanks !
 
no :( from your eyes can you see the 320mb 8800GTS lasting a couple of years playing newly releast games on Medium to High settings ?, smoothly, i think i can, from benchmarks ect, it plays everygame out on all maximum settings, Smoothly, even crysis and cod4, and i cant see much games being better than Crysis in graphical terms, in my eyes i look at crysis and cod4 as the new era of graphics, and now its a case of many other games stepping up into thoughs shoes, and this era would last a good 2-3 years,

dont you think ? :) might be me just woffling but thats how i look at it :P

(ooooh and bearing in mind i could get another 8800GTS in the future to SLI the beast ;) )

and another thing my computer i bought 4 years ago and it plays crysis, i havnt upgraded anything, its geforce 6200 graphics, 1gb of ddr400 ram, it allso plays CoD4, obviously all on low and not exactly the smoothest, so what im saying when i mean ''Will it last'' i mean as i mentioned up there, will it still play most games in High in a couple of years.. and yeeeeeers i know my current comp... is ''Couph coup and absollute couph'' :D
