I am asking this question here for a friend, because I cannot think of a good answer to give him, and I would like to appear smarter.
Would a Dual 550Mhz P3 Xeon, 1gig pc266 RAM, 4X AGP...Bla Bla Bla.. system perform better on games like CounterStrike, C&C Generals and the like than an AMD XP 2000, 512 PC2100? Both using a Radeon 9600 128MB. Looking at both system spects I cannot give him a good answer, it seems that where the AMD system lacks the P3 system excels, and vice versa... if you need more system spects to answer, then let me know!
