The only online game that I will be playing on this computer is MapleStory, if you havent heard of it could you please do a little research to help me out? Its 2D Graphics btw. I want absolutely NO LAG.My current desktop, when I am in a place in the game with a vast amount of players, my computers UBER LAGS!
So its not hard-core gaming like World or Warcraft, its just MapleStory.

Could one of these PC's run flawlessly? If so which one?

Thanks so much!
 
Dont go for acer. I had an acer computer and it crashed ever day and im a computer tech, i no what im talking about. If you want a good computer go for somethihng else like a custom made computer. But if u wanted one of them go for the 2nd one.
 
ok if u want flawwless (for waht your asking) go for :

"Acer Aspire Desktop PC
Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor E5200
3GB Memory and 640GB Hard Drive
NVIDIA GeForce 7050 Graphics
USB 2.0 and FireWire
Windows Vista Home Premium"

that will realy work well. great card (for the game) processor is fast and the ram size is good (memory) and the hd is preaty big. the hd doesnt effect the game by size. the only thing that will be good for the hd would to get a hd (hd is hard drive) that is realy fast transfer speeds that will push the games faters. also look at waht kind of ram your computer can take. look at the specs on the motherboard for that computer and look for the fastest ram it can handle.

and for everything else looks like a great computer :D...i am still running an a 2.4ghz p4 ;'( BUT IT DOES THE JOB :D


hope i helped

World of Warcraft hardcore? Have you heard of Crysis? I'd go with the 2nd one because it has more RAM and the video card doesn't really matter because you are playing Maple Story. It should run very well.
 
Both will run it ok, the second one is MUCH better, and I'd spend 20-40 quid on a cheap graphics card to put in it.
Those cards ARE easily fast enough to run maplestory BUT having an onboard graphics card will always have a performance penalty (As the CPU and GPU both want to use the RAM and so they have to wait for each other to finish, a plug in card has it's own RAM).

As for lag, if it was the graphics card that was the problem, your sorted with a new PC -but- if it's because you have a crap internet connection then you'd need to sort that.
