Which one of the following two PCs would you guys recommend, I’ll be using AC 9 on Win XP Home Edition (really the main difference is the video card and the brand in general)

Dell Dimension 4700
Intel Pentium 4-HT 530, 3.0GHz
128MB PCI Express™ x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) ATI Radeon™ X300 SE
1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 400MHz (4x256M)

Medion 4210E
Intel Pentium 4-HT 530, 3.0GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 5300 128MB PCI Express
1024MB DDR

From these two, Dell seems to be the better chioce, as dual-channel DDR2 memory is faster than normal DDR memory.
Also, its graphics card is faster - the ATI X300 is a more recent development than the NVidia 5300.

Dell, though would recomend at least 2 gig ram, several threads have noticed large difference. Spent a lot of time looking at all of this before buying 2 systems last month. very happy with performance
