I don't see a monitor listed?   Remember you will be looking at it a lot if 
you plan to digitize or edit designs so pick a mid range monitor or better.   
Both have 40GB hard drives,  I would like a larger drive because the  designs 
take up a lot of space and you don't want to run your drive over 75-80% full.
The processor should be strong enough.
Is there a built-in graphics card on the mother board or is there a separate 
card?  I bought an  E-Machine and I had to add a separate graphics card.
