    I'm trying to decide between these 2 PCs, i could do with a little help from those of you that have PC specs knowledge:

    Medion F2 Desktop Tower
    http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/5083668.htm
    CPU and Memory:
    Intel Pentium dual core E5500.
    Processor speed 2.8GHz.
    3GB DDR3 RAM.
    Hard drive:
    320GB SATA hard drive.
    DVD optical drives:
    Dual layer.
    Graphics:
    Intel GMA with X4500 graphics card.
    Acer M3400 Desktop Tower
    http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/5083675.htm
    CPU and Memory:
    AMD Athlon II triple core X3.
    Processor speed 2.7GHz.
    3GB DDR3 RAM.
    Hard drive:
    500GB SATA hard drive.
    DVD optical drives:
    Dual layer.
    Graphics:

    I don't know much about the graphics cards, are they any good. I'm basically only be using the PC for browsing online, and downloading from itunes etc.

    The Acer one has a better CPU, bigger hard drive and better graphics. However its still only onboard graphics, don't expect to play any games with it.
