The aurora is the stronger machine AMD processors are the top dog at the moment. Intel has been playing catch up for a little over a year now and has yet to even come close. If you get what is listed that will be one rocking machine for years to come you will be able to play any game at full settings.

What kind of heavy multi tasking?...Video or graphic stuff?....for gaming, Yang and I both just ordered the aurora 7700, and I am keeping my other 77oo for work...thus not taking back and forth daily, but I have an extended vacation in the offing and I will only take the new, aurora 7700 with me but...I think it depends upon just what your doing with the rig...from the gaming angle, you have no worries what so ever with either one....
