Hello, I have two possible gaming systems and I'd like to know whether one is significantly better than the other, or if they are both about the same.
System 1: 1.86ghz core 2 duo with a 8800 GT 512 MB video card, 5 GB ram, win7 64 bit
System 2: 2.33ghz core 2 duo with a 520 GT 1GB video card, 5GB ram, win7 64 bit
I know neither system is particularly good, but I don't have any money to spend on computer upgrades so I have to make do with one of them. Also, I can't put the 8800 into the 2.33 ghz machine because of some extremely odd problem where the PCIe slot is not providing full power or something (but the 520 works just fine with it).
Is one of these systems much better than the other for gaming? Or are they close, like within 10-15% of each other? Thanks in advance.
