Hello folks.
I was wondering if I could get your thoughts on these 2 computers from BB.
The computer will be used for media to my home theater 95% audio and a little video.
Maybe some minor game play, but the use of photoshop is always going on.
The one on the left is a Gateway GT5428 Intel Pentium D 935 Dual Core 3.20GHz. This is the description.
-ntel Pentium D 935 and 3.20GHz Dual Core Processor Speed
-250GB SATA II Hard Drive (7200RPM, 8MB Cache)
-1024MB DDR2 memory for multitasking power, expandable up to 2GB.
-DVD+/-RW 16X Multi-Format Dual Layer Optical Drive
-Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 with up to 224MB Shared
-I/O Ports: VGA Output, 2 x PS/2 Ports (Keyboard and Mouse), 6 High-Speed USB 2.0 Ports (2 front, 4 back), 1 x RJ-45 Ethernet Port, 1 x RJ-11 Modem Port
-Other Software: Microsoft Works 8.5, Microsoft Office 2007 Home Student (60-day complimentary trial period), Microsoft Digital Image Starter Edition 2006(includes 60-day Digital Image Standard 2006 trial), Adobe Acrobat Reader, Gateway Connect, BigFix
The one on the right is a Compaq AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ 2.0GHz Computer Refurbished.
The dauntingly powerful AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core processor 3800+ combined with 1GB of memory delivers the processing power you need to run multiple applications at the same time, without bogging down system resources.
A large 200GB hard drive offers ample room for all of your work-related documents, digital photos, MP3s and hours of video.
-The GeForce 6150 LE/nForce 430 chipset with 128MB of dedicated memory runs graphic-intensive applications like games and fast-moving movies seamlessly so you can enjoy them to their fullest capacity.
-The integrated dual layer 16X DVD +/-RW optical drive lets you listen to music CDs, watch DVDs and even burn your own up to 8GB in size on a dual layer DVD. The innovative LightScribe feature allows you to etch your own customized labels directly onto the discs.
-7 USB 2.0 and 2 Firewire ports allow for the easy connection of external devices and the speedy transfer of information. A built-in 9-in-1 media card reader lets you download images and other data to your computer directly from your memory cards, without the use of a digital camera.
-This model comes fully-equipped with the all new Windows Vista Home Premium Edition operating system.
I will probably be getting a another vid card and an external soundcard in the near future.
TIA
Mike
