Hi,

I am considering to buy a new HP computer for gaming and daily work. Having look through the UK website (model and choice are different to the US), I have got two:

HP Pavilion dv6-3142ea
AMD Phenom™ II Quad-Core Processor N930
2.0 GHz, Level 2 cache 2 MB
AMD RS880M chipset
4 GB DDR3 (2 x 2048 MB)
2 user accessible memory slots
Supports up to 8 GB DDR3 memory
ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5470 Graphics (switchable), up to
2202 MB total graphics memory with 512 MB DDR3 dedicated

HP ENVY 14-1190ea
Intel® Core™ i5-460M Processor
2.53 GHz, Level 3 cache 3 MB
Intel® HM55 chipset
4 GB DDR3 (1 x 4096 MB)
2 user accessible memory slots
Supports up to 8 GB DDR3 memory
ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5650 Graphics (switchable), up to
2714 MB total graphics memory with 1 GB DDR3 dedicated

Am not an expert, so just asking if the specs for each of them are sufficient and will perform well in playing 3D online games such as WoW, Rift, Guild Wars 2, etc...


If you have any other suggestion of computer, I would also like to hear about. Many thanks!
