Hi,
Doing a little research for a christmas present for my son. He says our computer "lags" when he tries to play video games, mostly minecraft these days. I've read several suggestions regarding building a computer, but I am not sure I can make that happen! Is there any off the shelf recommendations? Or better yet, can anyone tell me if the following computers might handle new video cards/boards as an upgrade? The computers we have are:
HP Pavillion entertainment notebook, 1.73 ghz, 2 mb l2 cache, 533 mhz fsb, nvidia geforce go 7600, windows xp, 1024mb system memory, 200 gb storage w dual hard drives, lightscribe 8x dvd drive.
or,
emachine windows vista home premium, amd x2 4050e processor, nvidia geforce 6150se integrated, 320 gb hard drive, 3 gb ddr2 memory, 15 in one digital media manager.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thx.
