Please do not leave useless comments if you do not know how to compare Hardware. The 1st computer supports SLI while the second doesn’t. However i have read some pretty bad reviews of the 1st Motherboard (and good ones too), about how it cannot fit 2 newer cards(which are bigger and have big fans attached to them). Both use ddr2 RAM, while the 2nd computer uses the slower 667 MHz. This is just a small example of the differences. ***Thank you George, Yes i know 6g ram is a waste. And im not a ATI person and 260gtx is beyond my budget. I plan on getting a 260 later ina year or 2, or having another 9800gtx on sli, but the problem is im still not sure if it will fit. though it should. **Thank you Pwned, that is what i ordered already, but i would still like to hear if anyone has a different opinion.

Wondering if that computer can run starcraft 2 at high – ultra settings? Thanks!!!!

Also whats the best screen size for playing starcraft 2?

Will this computer run World of Warcraft + Expansions smoothly?

Hi I am about to buy a new Desktop, I want to play World of Warcraft(all of them).
I haven’t played in a year so as long as I can play them, I don’t care if I can run them on HIGH settings, although it would be a nice bonus.

Here are the computer specs:
Acer Aspire AX1300-B1880A
Windows Vista Home Premium
AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core Processor 7450 (2.4Ghz, 512K x 2 L2 cache)
20″ LCD with USB speakers
640GB hard drive, 3GB DDR2 SDRAM and Gigabit LAN
Super-Multi drive, NVIDIA® GeForce® 8200 graphics solution
Interface ports: HDMI, eSATA, nine (five front, four rear) USB 2.0, multi-in-1 card reader, headphone/microphone, RJ-45, five audio, VGA and two PS/2

Thanks very much in advance!
Also, is this card better than the following one?

GeForce G 210

- 16 processing cores
- 64-bit memory interface with 512MB GDDR2
- DirectX 10.1 support
- 589MHz core clock
- 1402MHz shader clock
- 500MHz (1000MHz DDR) memory clock

Will these Computer Specs meet my needs?

I plan on using this for:

1. Music recording purposes
2. Midi transposing
3. Watching movies connected from the PC to the T.V. I have an HDTV, will I be able to configure this to play HD movies from my PC to the TV?
4. Solitaire

Will this PC meet that? What would I need to add/change to be able to use this PC for that?

Thanks.
