What Computer Should I Choose?

[Stalkout_002]

Here's a big mind breaker: You have 2 choices: One computer that has a video card that can run Crysis on high and has Vista Ultimate. Second choice is a computer that has 8400 GS, 4 GB RAM (Expandable to 8) 500GB memory and 22" monitor (While the other one has 2GB RAM, 250 GB memory)

Remember that 8400 GS runs Crysis on low.
And the second one has Vista Home Premiuml

2GB of RAM is really all you need. And 250GB is still a beefy hard drive. I think Vista eats up a bit more RAM and you may need to upgrade that, but other than that, the choice is clear for the first one.

If they have the same cpu get the first one. Additional RAM is dirt cheap and you can always add another HD for storage later on.

First one.

The first one, unless it has no monitor and you have none to use with it... cause a computer without a monitor is just dumb.

Seriously though, to upgrade to match the specs of the second one should cost you less in the long run than upgrading the second computer to match the first... if you so chose to do so at some point in the future.
