No. 1. The other two don't seem to have graphics cards (and no.3 has no os! those aren't cheap ya know)
second one doesnt mention a graphics chip so I'm going to assume intel integrated, making both #2 and #3 utter shite. get the first one out of those three.
I knew it! I was comparing the cpus and the first one was the last one in the list based on cpubenchmark. But I'm never a fan of Intel. So, what is the equivalent of a AMD Athlon II on the Intel processors? And what is more powerful a Athlon II or a Turion?
the I3 series is probably roughly equivalent to the athlon II series, as they are both cheaper, low end processors aimed at lower power computers. Turion is designed for laptops whereas athlon II is designed for desktops, but IIRC turion is older, so it may have been replaced by the athlon II series. I cant see why the athlon II would benchmark the slowest, as it is faster than the CPU in #2. Bear in mind that benchmarks often bear little resemblance to real world performance.

He asked me to look again to see if i can find something better but still in his budget of PHP20K/USD 470/ GBP 285. I found this and it has a dedicated video card, would this be better than the first one? it a little expensive by about PHP500 or like 10USD
