Which computer do you think is better for light games and some medium games...??

Computer 1:
Compaq SR5502SC
- AMD Sempron x2 2200
- Bestec 300W PSU
- 4GB RAM
- 250GB HDD
- MSI/nVidia GeForce 8600 GT 256MB

Computer 2:
ScaleoT P4 HT 3.2GHz
-Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz
- 2GB DDR
-160GB HDD
-350W FSP PSU
-ATI Radeon X800 XT 256MB

If it's possible i want to switch the better computer with my graphic card i have at home which is ASUS GEFORCE GT 210 1GB..
So which one is better in your opinion?

 

[daswilhelm]

how light is light? honestly i wouldnt recommend buying either of those machines considering thier age (8 to 10 years old by now).

also, i wouldnt recommend switching out either of those graphics cards for a gt210, which was not designed with gaming in mind.

 

[naxster]

Well light enough to handle games like Half-life 2, Halo, Call of duty MW2, GTA san Andreas etc...

 

[daswilhelm]

do you own these machines or are you about to purchase one?

 

[naxster]

I am about to purchase one of them

90% of the people on these forums are gonna tell you to build your own. You honestly probably could get a really cheap computer that is way better than those two though. If you're not up for building your own computer by yourself, get people on here to pick the parts for you and go to a computer store and have them assemble it. Microcenter is one store that offers a service like that for $100.

If I had to pick between those two, I would pick the top one.

i hope you aren't spending more than $50 on that machine.

Agreed. And yes the top build would be better.

actually it costs around $120 :/

However if they really sucks that bad i found another computer, what do you think if this one compared to the two other??

Computer 3:
HP DX2400 PD
- Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2200 2.2 Ghz
- 2GB RAM
- 250 GB HDD
- Graphic card: Intel GMA X3100 (i'm going to replace it with my graphic card ASUS GEFORCE GT 210 1GB, will it work/fit?)
- PSU (i think its 300-watt ATX power supply)

What do you think?

That's still a bad deal for $120. I've found some good deals on craigslist so you might want to look there.

Yes it is better if you plan to add in a graphics card.
