Desktops: Deciding Between Two HP Desktops
Deciding Between Two HP Desktops
by everwanted2 - 7/11/07 5:06 PMHi,
I need help deciding between two desktops. I currently have:
HP M7767C
Core 2 Duo E6600
2GB Ram, 600GB Sata Harddrive
GeForce 7500LE Video Graphics
Windows Vista Ultimate
W/22' HP w22 monitor
I bought this bundle as an open box at Sam's Club for a total of $950 (tax included).
I am looking into returning the one I currently have for the HP Pavilion m8120n Minitower. Specs are:
Intel Viiv Technology, Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600, 2.4GHz, 3GB RAM, 2 X 320GB Hard Drives, 16X DVD+/-RW Drive, Windows Vista Home Premium, GEForce 7350LE Video Graphics
The m8120n is available for $1070 (tax included) but with no monitor. Basically, is the quad core system with the 3 gb ram but lower graphics card worth it for me to return my current system and buy the m8120n? Is there a huge difference between the Core 2 Duo E6600 and the Core 2 Quad E6600?
i vote for quad core.

I'd say

Yes, the quad core does provide more processing power, but its not likely to be noticed so I don't see it justifying the hastle of return and repurchase, in addition to having to buy a new monitor.
A friend got the quad.

He's happy. "It won't slow down." was said the last time I saw him.
There will be naysayers but you usually find they haven't used such machines.
