| 168443 | 2003-08-18 10:05:00 | I am looking to purchase a new PC primarily for Internet Surfing and Microsoft Word/Excel applications. I will not be playing games. As with my present 166Mhz system I intend to keep whatever I purchase for as long as possible. I have been quoted for 2 systems running XP Home and the main differences are: Option 1 Intel P4 2.4 Ghz 800Mhz FSB Gigabyte P4 Dual Channel Motherboard 512Mb DDR400 Dual Channel Ram 128MB Leadtek GeForce FX-5200 8 x AGP Video Card Option 2 Intel P4 2.66 Ghz MSI Mainboard 512Mb PC2700 Ram GeForce 4 MZ440 64Mb Video Card Which is the better option or will I not really notice the difference and either would be OK? |
