I can upgrade the ram a bit if necessary.

Or
3 ghz P4 5xx
512 mb ram Will upgrade to 2 gigs or higher
x800 with 256 mb (can up this too since its a pci-e 16x)

The more you can upgrade, the better. Even IF it would run on either the first or second system, it'll run much better if you'd upgrade as much as you can. The 3Ghz CPU is good enough, but make sure you have at least 1-2GB of RAM and a GeForce 8*** card. I bought my 8800GT for only €60!! Best single slot card ever. Make sure your power supply can handle the GPU too. Good luck mate, there's still some time left untill the big day;)

make sure a new card will fit, dell makes some slimlines.

both those computers suck though, but you know that.
don't expect greatness even with a great video card, you need a new computer.

Well lets see the laptop has the better cpu but I can upgrade the desktop to as high as I can.
Lets see:
P4 3.6 ghz 6xx or 3.8 ghz 5xx
4 gb ram
8800 gtx I got from my neighbor for $20 and lunch.
I also have a 500 watt power supply lying around somewhere.
the laptop can also take the 4gb ram upgrade.
