Depends what you want to do, I'd probably go for the top one though as it's dual core so more future proof.

 

[bazola]

will it still run all the normal applications, ie 32 bit windows?

 

[Larok]

Id go for the bottom one. It will be better for gaming + better sound and power supply unit. Either will be fine with 32 applications if they are loaded with 32bit xp

I'd get the top system as it is dual core and has 2GB ram which will help in games and be more futureproof.

Yes it will run all applications and 32 bit windows fine.

Top one for me also, 2gb ram, dual core will make it nicer when multitasking in windoze or using multithread apps...

Wont be long before all games support dual core as well..

I couldnt find the top one listed on the site

 

[bazola]

Thanks guys.

Although I have had a contrasting response!!!

Cheers

I couldnt find the top one listed on the site its £1380 plus operating system with 2 gt cards in sli..?

The top one is the stronger spec, but the bottom one, (when you take into account the true cost) will perform the same in reality unless you are multitasking your PC. 2gb of memory would be better though, perhaps you can discuss that with ocuk.
