Which is the best computer?
I'm trying to help my dad-inlaw decide on a comp but I could use some other opinions since I'm a bit outdated on some hardware. He's looking for the best bang for his buck out of the 3. The 3rd one is the best but is the best for the money. Is the 3200 HD much better then the 6150?

The 3200 is astronomically better then the 6150. As an Integrated Graphics Processor, the 3200 performs as well or better then a few graphics cards. It has descent 3D capabilities.
Thanks for the response. I did some extra searching about the graphics card and processors. The 3rd option seems by far the best bang for the buck.

Hello my old friend.
They all suck
Build your own or enjoy your inability to play games.
You know I often find myself agreeing with what you say but I knew there would be some douche who said this. I even told my dad-inlaw there would be. There is no way he will build or let someone build him a comp. Besides it's not really for gaming.

No matter what you do, someone's building for him.
All silliness aside, tell me what the primary usage/desires for pops and I'll see if I can't find you a deal!

I really can't help but point out the fact that, regardless of what your computer is actually for... this site IS! If you honestly expected a different response then perhaps Tomshardware.com might have been the better avenue. No need to be snippy.
No but seriously.
With ALL silliness aside... HONESTLY...
My computer is the best.
XD

The third one will give you better speed, and better graphics, than the other two.
To bad your dad won't let someone build one for him, a computer with the exact same specs as the third one (parts from newegg) would be under 600$.
hmm, If i had an opinion, I would say that you should chose the one with the better rating. Other than that, you can make your own computer that can beat any of those for under 500 to 600 dollars (The lowest I made was a $478 computer) and you can get everything ya need at Tigerdirect (Both store and website)
www.cheapstingybargains.com/cheapster/desktops/
AWESOME deals here.
Go to a store and request they build you a computer for that price, or at least get a list of what will be in it...then ask about that list on forums (I'd recommend anandtech.com or tomshardware.com).
It will be better for the same price, and wont include a $10 mother board that causes blue screens, and a 300 watt PSU that will burn out in a year or 2.
Since it isn't used for gaming and he seems to be buying it for the "package deal", look for the one with the best monitor. Horsepower is unlikely to be of any real concern if all he's using it for is internet and business software. Typically the monitor is useful much longer than the computer itself, so the next time he goes to buy a computer he won't need the package. He can mix and match and ultimately get a much better deal. Also by that time, chances are better that if the monitor doesn't outlive the usefulness of the rest of the computer, he'll be looking at hooking his new computer up to an lcd tv or something.
I guess all I had to do was get "snippy" and I finally got some replies lol. I posted on mmorpg.com because even though most people are predictable here, I love them
I actually did some reserch over at tomshardware.com and figured the 3rd to be the better bang. I think one of the main reasons for BB is the 18 month no finance deal and that they already have the card.

Hello my old friend.
Make sure to at least take a look at the site I posted. There are tons of way marked down computers on there from major dealers (Dell/Gateway/HP). I don't know if you will find what you are looking for, but I have gotten some steals from that site.

I bookmarked it for personal use.

Hello my old friend.
For normal computer use which excludes online mmorg's, any of these computers if perfectly fine. The pc with the larger memory may be better for web surfing...
