Desktops - May 2007

I found two that i am seriously looking at. If any other suggestions post them. An emachine and an HP. I've had good luck with HP in the past but i felt i should ask. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2984474&CatId=2631
This one is 400 bucks and has a 3700+ with a San Diego (i can also get one with a 3800+ Venice). 1 gig of ram (i got DDR ram i own currently i can add) i would add a Geforce 7950 GT and a 600 watt PSU to this or the following.

This is dual core, heard dual core is just good at multitasking, not too much games. Also looked at some benches, but trully i just am unsure. This is 4200+, DDR2 ram (so i'd be stuck with a gig but its faster ram) and its an Asus board. You can see where i'm stuck. Its not like i'm completely worried about wasting my DDR ram, would be nice to reuse it and have 2 gigs. What d you think?

i really wanted a gaming computer , but since i work at a univeersity they give me a special deal on a dell. It is a dell optiplex gx 745 with a 2.4 ghz processor, 2 gb of ram, 250gb hard drive, but only a 256mb ati radeon x1300 pro video card. i dont know if this will run games solidly, even if i am only a moderate gamer...i play warcraft, counter strike, americas army, btelfield vietnam, and stuff like that. will this video card run smoothly and will the processor make up for it. i was planning befor to get a 7900 or an 8600 gts nvidia or an ati x1950 pro, but this great deal came up and the video card cant be switched

A friend gave me a Compaq Presario 5003US. He had some information on it and wanted me erase the hard drive, which I did with no problem. I tried to install Ubuntu and several Linux systems, but was unsuccessful. However, I was able to install Windows XP with no problem. Can any one tell me why Linux will not install??

Thanks,
Ed
