Definatly the Dell Demension 9200. Faster CPU and that 7300LE is a slow graphics card..

What will you be using the PC for? The Dell 9200 has a much better processor (Core 2 Duos are the best CPUs out there), so I would recommend that one if it is in your price range. However, I have the ATI X1300 Pro graphics card and it certainly isn't for any advanced games like Doom 3. It is more than sufficient for "regular" use, so if you plan on gaming much you may want to see if there is an upgrade option.

Thanks for the feedback. Price is not a problem, my husband is purchasing it through his job. I play a lot of games, I also do a lot of multitasking. In regard to an upgrade, that is not offered.
