Need a second pc and friend is selling his 478 system for £450

Hits 4ghz easy would this be a good buy

or should I buy a 939 rig would this be better, need the second pc as I do a lot of video editing

the 3.4EE Cpu were is this on level with a 939 cpu, my mates giving it the sales pitch just want to be sure.
