need help w/ picking a computer!!!!!!!

i got my mind set on the intel.i was looking on ebay.both are brand new

I could go with a HP M9000t

intel duo core 2 (2.6mhz)

2mb memory

320gb hard drive

$720.00

or

HP M9040n

intel duo 2 quad (2.4mhz)

3mb memory

640gb harddrive (2x320)

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/g...reg_R1002_USEN

on ebay right now for $250 w/ 2 1/2 days left.

i just want the best bang for my buck.so should i bid on the quad hoping i can get it for the same price or less than the duo.or is the 2.6 duo better than the 2.4 quad overall anyways.with the quad ill also double my hard drive and get a extra mb of memory.i will also beeing adding memory within a week of buying so ill have about 5-6mb of memory either way.i need some feedback on this asap

6MB WILL NOT RUN VISTA. Using your way of viewing things, you'll need 512MB to run Vista at minimum settings. You mean GB (Vista requires 512MB, recommended 1GB, which is 1024MB).

Quad core. 4 cores vs 2 cores. You do not add up the speeds. It's more futureproof and overall performance is alot better.

... Windows 3.1 was created before Windows 95... thus you can infer that it's nowhere near Vista... as <1995 technology hasn't even recognized DX8.1...

Vista is great, if it comes with the service pack. Vista vs XP? Your choice. Your personality.
