I have not compared the two but I don't think you'll get what you are after from either of those.
It would be best to work your way towards a new system when you are able. :) |

Yeah. Better wait and when you've the money, buy a new pc.
That ram is going to give you trouble. And the graphic card too is an AGP, not good for graphic intensive jobs or HD videos. I don't know much about that card but i doubt if it can run aero even w/o any lag(s). |

I have a test computer running the replacement canidate and it is running Windows 7 very well with Aero enabled, and on only 512MB of ram too. And I want to use the replacement canidate motherboard so I can do more on my PC due to the processor not having the Aero coding on it, giving more headroom for other programs.
