In general you should never go on 'on-paper' specs - on paper #1 looks the better system, but I'd not be surprised if it did actually go #2's way.

Actually, [REB]Qrite - I take you have access to the two machines? - could you 3dmark them both for us?

well actually, my computer is #1, and his is #2. He lives about 4 houses down the street. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have 3dmark, so he is going to have to download it or he can wait until I get home for me to give it to him. But for now, the world lies in wait of the most important question of mankind: Who's computer is better?

So, to get the ball rolling - what 3dMark score do you get?

wtf? were you people taught your computer knowledge by a beaver? take some tests and as far as peformance goes, #2 will beat the crap out of #1. reasons:

A: core 2 duo beats FX's ass, qutie pathetically
B: the 7900GS and 7800GTX are on about the same level as far a sperformance. i think the 7900GS might even beat out the 7800GTX in a few tests.
C: you can actually put a decent amount of stuff on the hard drive. sure, its not a 10,000RPM drive, but its still a good drive.

dont start saying the sound card makes it better or the memory is better quality in #1, because thats not gonna help its performance when you are actually looking at the screen while playing a game.

Here and I thought the achelies heal on #2 was the MB. I can't stand BIOStar. And don't me started on thier support.

But other than MB, and HD Which has the least to do with performance of all parts. I can deal with slower load times so long as my FPS is still good. Not to mention Raptors wear out faster than the caviars.

Case: #1 because of the larger PSU.
Video: Neither, they are both roughly the same.
Processor: #2 because of its architecture and you could easily overclock it to 2.8GHz.
Motherboard: #1, it is just much better.
RAM: #1 because Corsair is much better brand than 'BIOSTAR'.
HDD: #1 because of the Raptor.
Sound Card: #1 because it actually has a sound card.

Overall, 1 appears to be better. but the processor isn't that great!

Correction:
RAM: Pretty equal RAM is RAM
MoBo: BIOStar Sucks

Case: a case is a case, but in this case, case one wins because of the larger power supply (and the box of goldfish next to it)
Videocard: Im not to knowledgeable about video cards, but I think that the 7800GTX may beat out the 7900GS. not sure on this though.
Processor: Like someone else said, I think the AMD FX-57 beats out the core 2 duo if the core 2 isnt overclocked, but still close.
MoBo: I go with the brand I trust, and that is Asus, I always buy from them and never had any problems
HDD: #1 takes the cake on this one
Soundcard: obviously....

Verdict: #1 pulls out on top, with #2 right on its heels
