New Computer-Help Me Choose!

HeyGrim · 11-21-2007, 11:49 PM

Alright, so I'm looking to buy a new computer because the one that I currently have is slowly dying. I don't really play many PC games, only console ones, so I don't know much about all of these specs. So far, I've narrowed it down to two choices. I know that some of this information is irrelevant, but I just copied and pasted. Which do you think would be better?

Acer Aspire AM5630-E1206A Intel Core 2 Q660
Processor Type Intel Core 2 Q6600Processor Speed 2.4GHzRAM 2GB DDR2Hard Drive 320GB 7200RPMOptical Drives Supermulti Drive, (DVD+/-RW), DVD-RAMGraphics Card Intel GMA X3100 Up To 384MB Shared VRAMAvailable Expansion Bays 1 - PCI-E x16, 1- PCI-E x1, 1 - PCI 2.2Available Expansion Slots 1 x 3.5", 1 x 5.25"Cache 8MB L2Disk Drive NoFax/Modem NoI/O Ports See The Features SectionIncluded Software MS Works 8.5, NTI CD-Maker GoldMonitor Included?

Also, what type of games would I be able to play on either of these computers? Thanks!

actually you won't play any games on both, one doesn't have graphics card and the other has a geforce 7500LE which is worthless, overall they are both good system but you might need to spend another buck on getting anything above geforce 8600GT

About how much would I need to spend on a new graphics card for the Acer?
