RE: New PC advice please

OpenOffice is a free alternative to MS Word/Office.
Well, as for the PC's, I'd choose PC #2. Both PCs are the same except for one area: processor. They're both dual-core processors, but PC #2 has a faster processor speed (3.0GHz over 2.8GHz).

No, wrong. Very wrong.
Intel 7400 easily faster, much faster. These days you simply can't look at GHz numbers alone, it means very little. A current generation 45nm Core2 can probably do 1.5 times as much work per tick as an Athlon.
But it's not fair competition, because for the same cost as a 7400, you can almost get a PhemonII x550, and that's more beast than either of the above.
