Any thing go wrong with the hardware? Thanks a lot for your help!!
Yea, there is not much difference between dual core and quad core when it comes to speed... to me it looks like your older pc would be faster, because of the cpu running @2.8 ghz...the newer one has more ram, but they look pretty even...
