You see fellas, the problem is I'm buying this new computer and I've already decided on the video card, it had to be inexpensive but fairly good quality, so i chose the 7600GT. Good choice? But now I'm stuck with what computer. The 3800 is of course dual core (Didn't spell it duel like some other fools) but would that be beneficial or a setback. I think the 620 with HT would be a shade faster but would the dual core and the athlon-ness even things out? Both come with a gig of RAM so I'll be upgrading that very soon to 2 gigs and both come with 7200RPM HDD's, the 3800 is 250GB SATA and the 620 is 200GB, doesn't say if its SATA so I'll presume not. So basically from all this, what would you think would prove better at games like BF2 and Ghost recon, the new one forgot what it's called, and such. So what'll it be fellas and please explain why, I'm not that technacial, well I know basics I suppose, but some of the jargon, I'm still oblivious to, like this whole BIOS stuff. But back to the problem at hand, which computer.

Hmm...it seems like a good deal either way. I personally use an Intel P4 at 3.00 GHz with HT extension, 1 GB of DDR Ram, 512MB ATI X1600 Pro so my system is running super fast! Woot!

Is the X1600 Pro any good? I can pick one up for a little bit over 150. Just wondering if it can gett all strong medium settings, because then that could allow me to purchase 2 gigs of RAM a hella lot quicker.
