Which is the best?
I am looking for a new computer for gaming purposes and by that I mean one that runs WoW fairly well ^.^ I would like to have it under a price range of $500 and am wondering what is the better of the two processors,
Athlon Intel 4000 series I have also looked into purchasing the following computer brands and wonder what is the best name. HP Compaq Gateway Dell I have decided on at least 1 gig of ram and a 160 gigabyte hard drive and of course need a wireless broad-band card. Which computer package would you suggest for a price range of under $500. Help would be appreciated.  Last edited by Lilith; 12-31-2007 at 06:56 PM. |

Intel 4000 series if you expect to overclock. If you are sticking to stock, then the Athlon X2's would be better(only the higher up ones like 5000+ and over)

Do you want a pre build? Or are you happy to build yourself?

I'd go Dell... although HP is great too.
