========================================
obviously 1 has a larger HDD than the other, that's not an issue, what I'm more focused on is which is better in terms of faster/powerfuller. system 2 is about $40 more, but has no dvd so I assume is the better machine, if anyone can steer me in the right direction it'd be much appreciated, thanks
I don't do masses of it, but the machine will be used for a little bit of video editing, and typically I have open and running at any one time, if it has any bearing:
firefox 5 - 9 tabs
chrome 1 - 2 tabs
open office 2 - 5 calc sheets
email client (damn just realised I'm gonna lose outlook express as well as windows movie maker
)
remote desktop
statsremote in the background
4 - 8 notepad files
winscp ftp
windows media player for my choons :D
thanks
