currently Vista and Games do not work WELL together, a few gaming sites have done comparisons with XP and Vista and in almost Every Instance the XP system worked better (higher FPS for the games) by anywhere from 5% to 25% depending on the game and the settings used. vista basic is OK for running stuff. doesn't have aero though
here is what I'd do- if i am on a budget and have to get prebuilt
check to see if the first machine has a pci express slot, if so,
bump that one up to 1 to 2 gig of ram
then buy a decent pci-x video card and put it in.
you'll still save money over the 2nd computer listed.
OR buy the components yourself- do you have an XP Disk you can use for Installation of the OS?
don't know foreign countries, but in the US you can buy the components and have a Good gaming system for 600 dollars minus the OS (700 with 20" widescreen LCD monitor)...
