it has 9.5GB of capacity (it would be termed as a 10GB drive) and 5.38GB free

the first one has a 30GB drive (which =27.95GB after formatting) and has 1.53GB free

why??????

that's like asking why do some current machines come with a 160GB drive and others with a 250GB drive..

better is relative..both of the cpus are running fairly close, though at those speeds the ~100MHz of difference actually works out to a ~12% difference...that reading of 370MB of ram in the second machine indicates that most likely something is messed up as it doesn't divide by 64 as it should...

what may be more indicative of 'better' is the MoBo that is being used as that may indicate other factors of 'betterness'...IMHO they are both ancient and pretty much unusable for modern day software (sure, they work but are sloooooooow)...

if I had to make a statement, the first machine is better as the HDD is larger and the ram is apparently functioning properly with a stick of 256MB ram and another of 128MB ram...both most likely PC100 (again, very slow in comparison to what's in use today)
