i'd go for Computer 1. but try getting an OCZ 1066mhz RAM and 2*250gb drives instead of 1*500gb. just in case one fails you can still use the other and maybe keep important files on both drives. get an OCZ psu
reasons why i didn't chooses Comp 2:
-8800GTX slightly better than 2900XT (now i'm an ATi fan-boy!)
-DDR2-800 ram
otherwise the PC's great! i love the motherboard!

I would go with PC 2... although the memory is a touch slower, it is 4GB (which will show up as 3.5 at most in XP)
I wouldn't swap the HD out, since it is a SATA-II (3.0 gb/s) but definitely think about getting an external HD and some backup software for disaster recovery.

Not enough difference in them to be an issue. Go with the cheaper one.
