Which pc is better?

Hi all

If this thread is in the wrong section I apologize and please feel free to remove it.

In my first post to this board I descirbed a problem with my old pc overheating.
I've recently got my hands on another pc, slightly newer I believe, and am wondering which one would best suit my needs. Keep in mind my old ones fan problem has been fixed.

I browse the internet, type up things in microsoft word, and watch dvds. Watching dvd's being the most important.

Computer two -

So far Im leaning towards number 2, but the tech guy I was speaking to said the amd procesors are no good and do not run vista well at all. So Im not too sure, any opinions on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou.

 

I'd go for #2 also, a dual core always beats a single. I have an AMD X2 that is running 24/7 now for two years straight and not one problem. See if you can get a free upgrade to Windows 7 and get 2GB RAM for either Vista or W7.
