I'm sorry, but the bestbuy.com doesn't give me what the graphic card is

The most important part of a computer for gaming is the video card, and you did not list a video card on any of these, so anyway who says they could give them a fair ranking is wrong. Judging by the models, my best educated guess is that none of them would be good for gaming, but you are basically asking us to tell you which car is fastest without knowing what kind of engine is in it, not possible.

None of these choices are good gaming computers. I'd like to see how poorly these computers run Command and Conquer 3 though.

You don't even need to look up the video card. Why? Because they all run Vista Home Basic instead of Vista Home Premium. This is a simple way of gauging the video card (or lack thereof).

A good gaming machine needs a good discrete video card. One could get by with a slower CPU (although the benchmark test scores would be lower), but you can't play the current generation of pc games without a good video card.

none of these are good gaming machines. the best machines for gaming are ones you build. (which really isn't that hard, and its saves you money. i have a Pentium D Dual Core 3GHz, 2gb ram, 2 dvd-rw drives, and two 200gb hard drives for around $600 (plus case, psu, etc))

#2 because you are not utilizing Celeron processing (it shows in high end games with Celeron compare to P4). Also, you get more memory than the other machines as well as a bigger HD... Do I need to say more?

Get #2. Intel is much better than Celeron.
E-Machines are cr@p - forget that one.

2 is your only option, celeron will not run games well, think of them as the pinto compared to the mustang!
