Hello..
I cant decide on what one to buy. What one would you buy and why?
My main usage would be general desktop use, watch the odd dvd. Would the ATI gfx on the A100 be any use for games in the past few years? I'm not a gamer but would like to be able to play some games of a few years old. CMR4 for example. I dont really know that much about Core Duo. I am upgrading from an old athlon xp 1.4ghz cpu and an extra 200mhz does'nt seem that much on the A100
The A120 is strengthened, better casing, keyboard etc.. but I dont know how much that matters give it will 80% be used in the home. I will also be using an external 19" Monitor with it if that makes a difference on choice?
Thanks.
Dave
