Looking at a HP with i7 intel 8mb with tubo boost to 3.46GHz 1.5 t HD 1gb dedicated ATIRadeon HD5450(DVI,HDMI Win 7 home premium $723.00 free shipping from colocomputer, is that a good unit and a good deal for a refurb, it hA 90 day HP warranty it is a factrory refurb

My current comp 2006 HP Media Center HP 7457C is working better since I updated the video card and the intel duo, it goes to 76 percent when processing but I am not doing HD, used to go to 100 percent for extendid periods, seems to produce faster now

Or I can get the same unit with AMD6core 9gig 2X4+1 DDR31333MHz SDRAM and a Radeon 5770 1 TB HD for 25.00 less, which is best?

One is a 350 the other is a 360

Both units are good value.

If it were me, I would go for the ATI graphics.

Both good systems. I prefer the intel, but that is just my experience. Both of those should handle just about anything.
The second system looks to have a better video card. With both, I would add more internal hard drive to store your files and back up to an external. About a year ago, I purchased a Dell I7 refurbished and have been very happy with it. They did give me a 1 year warranty. Havent had to use it yet. Land of fieros, North Dakota USA

THANK YOU! Some great folks on board this forum"THANKS AGAIN"

Another question, would Windows 7 Pro be any better than the standard Win 7or would't there be a diffence when using the greatest video editing software out there which is PD8

I have read that Win 7 Pro/Ultimate make better use of available ram, My home premium only appears to use 20% of ram, which seems to be a considerable waste of resources.
I do have Ultimate on my laptop, 32 bit with 4 GB of ram but PDR9 does use 100% of available memory
