A while back I posted about a computer I was looking at grabbing and the overwhelming response was to kick up the ram to 2gb if possible. So a new option has presented itself:

The previous setup:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
1 GB Ram (May be able to up it to 2, but that might be pushing it a bit)
80 GB HD (I have a 2nd drive right now that's 350 GB that would transfer over)
256 MB NVIDIA Geforce 7300LE

Vista Home Premium

The new setup:
AMD Sempron 3400+
2 GB Ram
80 GB HD
Integrated NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE

Vista Home Premium

I've read a lot of reviews on the Sempron and they all appear to be fairly positive, but none of them can give me a straight answer as to how it will affect the multitasking and (although I forgot to mention it last time) the video stuff (viewing through network via my Xbox) that I want and need to be able to do.

I think the 2GB is a huge importance, but is it more important than dropping the cpu and video card to those levels?

Thanks again in advance for any help..
