check the hard drives... are they 54000 soin or 7200 spin ...
widows xp can be downloaded for free.. (i had mine for almost 2 months now)' ,,, the computer 1 looks the best becuz of the bigger drive and ram .. but i gotta point out that you wont notice any difrence between a 256 and 512 ram.... no program uses that much memory... but it can be good for the future ... the mp3 player they're icluding aint bad either...
im currently upgrading my computer myself...this is what ive chosen:
Amd XP 1600+
256md DDRAM
Sonic Vortex Soundsard
hp cd writer
speakers with subwoofer

yo buy a computer with dvd-rw so you can burn dvd's and ps2 games

I Personnaly Like Computer 1 The Best Aswell. Like You Said The RAM Wont Make That Big A Difference BUT, For Future Use It Might Come In Handy. At The Moment Mine Is 24Mb Ram. ;D The Windows XP Thing Is Actually On All 3 Computers I Think. On The Thing About The Hard Drive And That Spin Thing, How Can I Check That Out Becuase The Man At The Shop Didnt Menion Anything Like That.
BTW, Your Computer Will Be Dope As Fuck. Especially Your Speakers. I Need Some Decent Speakers For My New Computer, I Need To Annoy The Neighbours For All The Time They Used To Play Baha Men Loudly.

you just ask the dude .. it's a big diffrence between those 2 ... the 7200 version is 33% faster than the 5400, witch means that if you want to start a program, it will start faster ... you will copy big files faster... about the ram.... 256mb sdram cost 40 bucks.... 512 cost 95 bucks (you lose 15 bucks) ... if you notice later, lets say after 6 month.. that you need more ram, the price for another 256ram (to make it 512) will only be round 20-25 bucks) ... so you wnot lose anything...
like my harddrive ... im buying a 40gb 7200 spin... (13 bucks) ... my friend suggested me to buy a 80gb for 3000 bucks, but since i dont need that much right knowm itook the 40gb ... if i will need more place, at least 6 month gotta pass, witch will mean that i cant buy a 80gb for round 13 bucks .... uknowwhatimean???

the best thing is as rud said: to try to find a amd computer insted ... a amd 1.3ghz is beating a pentium 1.5 easily... my amd 1600+ is as good as a pentium 1.8-1.9ghz according to benchmarks....

They Don't Really Have That Many AMDs Around Here. I Went To PC World And They Only Had One AMD On Show. :(
BTW, Would You Mind Explaining This Spin Thingy To Me, Cos' Its Got Me Confused.

A harddrive is like a numerous discs putten together..... when you store or opens something on the harddrive, the discs spins until it find the right place to store, or open the file (just like a cd).. (that's why you hear that hard drive sound when you're saving something big) ... now .. the spin level shows how fast the disc can spin on a minute, if it spins fast, it can find or store the file much faster... 7200 spin means that the disc can spin 7200 times on a minute... and as i said: a 7200 spin is 33% faster than a 5400 spin.
tell me if you need more explications

computer 1 fo sholo....
Yo I-Bo where can u download Windows XP for free?
ill hit u up on AIM or somethin or reply to this thread
-
go to www.download.com and download a program called "direct connect" .. this is the best program ever existed when it comes to downloading movies and programs and games... you can download dreamcast games, playstation2 games and whatever you can think of.... but i gotta warn you .. windows xp is almost 500mb large, so you betta have a good connection to be able to download... + your computer better have more than 300 mhz and 128 ram or more + 1.2gb harddrive for the windows xp and all settings and shit..
...but it's worth it
