2 Diff System Setups for D3&HL2

[Stormtrooper]

Which setup would be better for running Doom3&HL2 at no higher than 1024x768 resolution, maybe with 4xAA/8xAF on?

1. athlon xp 1700+ t-bred, radeon 9800 pro 128mb 256bit
2. athlon xp 2600+ barton, radeon 9600 pro 128mb 128bit

The system with the 9800 Pro, but 4xAA is out of question for the most part. Maybe doable in HL2 at low res.

r u planning to buy one of them ?
if price is concern, y dont u get the 2600+ one, and but a second hand 9800 pro, a lot of people selling it.

1700+ and 9800 PRO are the better bet, but neither will do D3 at 4xAA.

You need an X800/6800 to do that...
