Your graphics card still looks relativley crappy in the second one...you could fool around where I got my Computer
www.ibuypower.com they offer some great deals, with good graphics cards and everything. MIne's got a P4 2.66ghz, 512MB ram, 80gig hard drive, CDRW, and an ATI Radeon 9500Pro 128MB 8xAGP. I got all that for just under 1000, and that was back in May. I'll bet you could get that same computer for less than 900 from them now. And they usually offer free shipping, or a 5% discount. Ive been quite satisfied so far...
EDIT: Da da dum!!! Best deal ever! You could even get rid of the monitor and save yourself 140 bucks.
