Which computer is better for gaming.

My Computer-

Intel Based
2.8Ghz Processor
D845GVFN Motherboard
1gb RAM (2x500)
100GB Hard Drive
Nvidia GeForce 6200 PCI External Graphics Card
Decent Power Supply
Windows Professional

Computer 2-

AMD Based (Im very new to AMD)
AMD Athlon 62x2 Dual Core Processor 4200 (2.2Ghz)
894 RAM (2x500) Should be 1000 Dont Know why??
Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE Integrated Graphics Card
300GB Hard Drive
Slightly Better PSU
Windows Vista

Which system would be better for playing WoW on full graphic settings. Also what could I add to Computer 2 to make it good for playing WoW on the full settings without lag.

Thanks

Any comments are greatly appreciated

i would say the first one...

To answer your question about the second one you have 2x512 sticks in it and you think it should be 1024, but since your graphics card is integrated its taking 128mb (since thats what your graphics "card" size is currently set at) and the remainder of the memory is what windows sees.

Integrated graphics cards are very limited especially in the gaming realm, because its soo slow, think about it, it shares your memory and your CPU renders the graphics, now as for a graphics card that you plug in, it has its own memory and will have its own GPU for graphics processing. So with keeping that in mind i would say #! at the moment ( and for that reason alone)

What if I were to add my External PCI Graphics Card into Computer 2. Then which one would be better, the processor in the 1st one is still better.

[SoloCamo]

If you were to add an external to pc2 it would be a much much better rig...

Hell, if I had to took one or the other, I would take system 2 anyways..Dual Core A64 vs single core 2.8ghz p4 or celeron.

It's not like the 6200 is a good card at all anyways. No offense intended of course.

[ShuckyD]

probably the 2nd one then, but still that PCI graphics card is not really that good

Well could u help me buy some low cost parts so I could run WoW on either system with the full graphic setting. I dont like to lag when I play and my IC is very good. Any suggestions on what I should get. I believe Computer 2 Has a PCI-E port or whatever they use for graphics. I appreciate your help and if you need any more information let me know.

[Twisterman]

I believe PC2 has more 4 RAM Slots as well. My RAM from PC1 does not fit into PC2 for some reason. Guess it has less/more pins than the other. It has PCI slots and other black slot that looks like PCI but I dont know what it is. Might be PCI-E.

Any suggestions so I can do as the above stated reply

[Twisterman]

Anyone got any suggestions?????

Computer 2 is easily better.
The GPU on PC1 is only slightly better.

Is there an AGP, or PCI-Ex16 slot in the motherboard of the second computer?
If so, add a 100$ GPU and you should be playing WOW with great framerates.
