AMD Athlon64 X2 4200, or Intel Core 2 Dou E6300?

I want to be able to play some cool virtual world games like Second Life. Will this and other games be able to be played with Windows Vista?
I also want to be able to run multiple programs at the same time.

We usually store sensitive client data on external hard drives and lock the drives in safes. However, busines travel requires my people to carry sensitive client data on laptops. How do I protect this data. In a worst case situation and the laptops are loss, how can I prevent people from reading the data? I hear VISTA can encrypt the data on laptops, Is this true?

as i know it is not just turned off. what is it prossessing. i know if you have 2 sli or crossfire cards 1 is physics 1 is rendering. so what is the graphics chip on the motherboard doing A. when there is one gpu card and 2. if there are two cards, if that matters. also i know that if three cards are applied that 1 is physics 1 is to half and 1 is bottom have of screen so what is it if there is four cards does it make it a three part screen or 2 physics one for each half of screen(not likely i think). i would like a link to explain some of this if you could please. i have been to ati.amd.com and nvidia.com also instead of 3 and 4+ cards howcome they dont just open more power to 1 pci-x(now) and just add more chips sets to 1 card as many gamers would prefer to buy 1 card as to more than one(just a thought). guess there is not enough room on 1 card.

I am almost positive its not the CPU monitor because it is still running when the screen is white. If I turn the monitor on and off sometimes, it will work but lately that hasn't been working. Every time I turn it on the screen is white. It is a dell monitor 15inch flat screen LCD monitor. Is it expensive to get a monitor repaired or would it be cheaper to just buy another monitor?

I just bought an amd athlon64 x2 processor, but under system properties it says I have a 32-bit processor. I thought it was supposed to be 64-bit processor. Why is that? Thanks for the help.

I bought a new computer but don't want to move all of my music from the old one. I want to keep the old one as a "stereo". Is there any kind of adapter or switcher that will allow me to use the same monitor for both?

I know how to change the layout of the keyboard from one language to another. But how can I change the layout of individual keys? I am trying to write in Polish on my British computer. But the problem I have is that whether I switch to Polish Programmer's keyboard or Polish 214 I do not only get the additional Polish letters which I want, but also some undesired swaps - like " and @.
