Post by thorgon »

I have been saving to get a pc to play RPG pc games, I will have enough saved on dec. 1st to get a HP PAVILION M9350F W/ 6GB RAM, 750GB HARDDRIVE and a NVIDIA GEFORCE 9800 GT video card or on nov.16th I can get a HP PAVILION M9400F W/ 8GB RAM, 750GB HARDDRIVE, and a AMD RADEON HD 3650 video card. the first pc costs 1,200.00 at WALMART the second costs 1,000.00 also at WALMART. I have to get it at WALMART because part of my savings is in WALMART gift cards( I get 2 90.00 cards amonth),so I would like any and all advice on which to get.

I'd go with the former if I were you, especially that it is only a $200 difference between the two machines. The Geforce 9800GT card is more powerful than the Radeon 3650.

The duty of every soldier is to protect the innocent, and sometimes that means preserving the lie of good and evil, that war isn't just natural selection played out on a grand scale. The only truth I found is that the world we live in is a giant tinderbox. All it takes...is someone to light the match" - Captain Price
