You'll get a quicker and better opinion if you ask this in Technical Issues. That's where the computer whizzez hang out.
They advised me when I asked about my new system.
Both systems lack in the graphics card department. That is the one item on your computer that will be determine how well it plays this game. Try to get an Nvidia card with the numbers x6xx and up or since the new ones came out x6x and up (the "and up" meaning keep the second number at 6 or higher). Both those computers listed have good RAM etc. but without a good graphics card you won't be able to turn up the graphics settings and may have some trouble in high traffic areas in the game.
Forbin is correct, this is better asked and answered in the tech forum, but here's a short answer.
The more expensive one will run the game better, but both will run the game poorly IMO.
They both have very substandard graphics froma gaming standpoint, but the Gateway has the better CPU.
They both are running integrated graphics (6150.) You want to stay far, far away.
The second one, however, has a PCI-E x16 slot available. (The first *lists* it but puts it as unavailable. What it's used for, I can't say.) This would, at least, allow you to put in a decent dedicated video card if the power supply can handle it.
I believe that's because the GF GT 120 is actually taking up the PCI-E slot.
It would need to be yanked out and replaced post-haste, as it really is a very poor GPU

Don't ask me why, when I looked at that, I saw them both running the 6150.
The GT120 is a rebranded 9500GT with DDR2 video memory. Performance wise it is around the 8600GT which is light years ahead of an integrated 6150.

Ok, My question is kind of complicated.. I know the first computer will run coh very well, I am curious about the second computer. Will it run coh nicly? They are both very nice systems but I would rather go with the smaller priced one if it will also play coh smoothly. Can you guys tell me if it will run smoothly? The second one..
(Sorry I think I repeated myself few times XD, The link to the 2 computers is below.)
