I'm assembling a new computer but I don't know which is better between Core 2 Duo E6300 and Pentium D 915. Both are dual core. The Core 2 Duo is supposedly last generation and has a faster bus at 1066 Mhz, but the Pentium D has twice the cache (4 MB) and runs at 2,80 GHz vs. 1,86 for the Core 2 Duo. How could the Core 2 Duo be faster? For a fact, it IS pricier.

You can see both here: http://indigo.intel.com/compare_cpu/showchart.aspx?mmID=884355,881356&familyID=1

I intend to use the computer with Ableton Live 6 and other software for multitrack audio edition and realtime DSP.

the pc tower is the actual "box" that holds your cd tray, power button, all the inner workings of a computer except the monitor and keyboard and mouse. if anyone knows who invented this it would be great. i have heard that it was a man named lee or orvill tencher? but can not find any results on a search.

My Compaq Presario 1245 laptop is showing "Boot Disk Failure" at startup, and the Cd drive doesnt work. They both show up in BIOS, and I have tried changing the boot order. Booting from a floppy doesnt work either. Would the Cd drive not working be caused by the hard drive not working? Does the fact that they show up in BIOS mean that they still work?? What should I do??

Sound and video playack cuts out now and again, so basically stops for a few seconds, then continues. This has only just happened since i upgraded to Vista, could it be that my processor is taking too much of a thrashing, so it stops the video/sound when its working too hard, i have 512mb but it does this when no other programs are running, just for example itunes. Could it also e any problem with the soundcard, or maybe something, thanks.

I know it's not the speakers; I just tried them in a different computer, and I also tried headphones in this computer, which didn't work either.
