Please help me choose a computer between these 2!

Hello!

I'm about to buy a new computer and I have found these two packages that I think is interesting.

http://www.dustinhome.se/pd_5010081871.aspx

http://liontech.webmercs.com/PartDetail.aspx?q=p:10500543;b:214;pl:1

Sorry that the link is in swedish but I hope you can understand it.

The reason for buying a new coumputer is programming in Java and C++. The OS  I will use is Mandriva 2008 and hopefully Compiz Fusion.

I'm not so good with hardware so I really hope for response here.

The con's with dustion computer that I can see is:
Less memory

The con's with liontech computer that I can see is:
Less memory in videocard
Built in videocard (does this means it can't be replaced?)
Built in soundcard (does this means it can't be replaced?)

So if you could advice me pleas do!!

Best regards
Fredrik

1 GB mem is not enough.

You should go for at least 2. And assuming it is a 64 bit Linux there are no problems with more.

I will consider the processor in the second machine to be outdated.

I have never experienced graphics cards to be a problem when programming. And I usually
buy 200 kroner graphics cards.

So something like the first machine. With more memory. And if price is ceritical
a cheaper graphics card to pay for the more memory.

I think you should buy option 1, but buy more ram, least 2 GB ram. Core2duo are faster and run like a Porche :) with core2duo can you have more programs at the same time

Take the first one. Intel is much better at the moment, and the graphic card in the first one is also better. You could also order 1GB more RAM, which would help alot I believe. http://www.dustinhome.se/pd_5010095699.aspx

I would suggest you found a computer with Core 2 Quad, as it is very much more useful when it comes to programming, as you tend to have alot(!) of programs running at the same time.

I then for sure will not buy the one from liontech.

In tha last minute I also found this one from Dell, 530 Inspiron:

Pretty much the same but it would be interesting to hear from you if you see anything that perhaps is not compatible with Linux.

One thing that is not clear to me is what I think is the videocard:
Integrerad Intel® Graphic Media Accelerator 3100
It does not say anything about RAM or performance.

The good things with this is that it includes 2 GB RAM, and also Windows Vista. Probably a good thing for a sell later. The price is just the same as the one from dustin. Unfortenately it was not possible to paste the url.

But if you see anything worth menation, please give your comment!!

Best gest regards and thank you very much!!

Nothing special to note.

You could try and see if you could find it cheaper without Vista - now you don't need it.
