Well, for a desktop, is AMD mobile processors best buy or Intel(R) Pentium M?

also, can Corel WordPerfect(R) Office 12 upgrate to Microsoft(R) Office Small Business Edition ? is there a big difference between the two? coz i was thinking that the latter one is much more expensive and do they have the same function?

Answer 1

I suggest XP media Center.
The only major difference is that Media Center makes it easier to organize media files. It is designed for media and entertainment. Apart from that it is mostly identical to PRofessional.
Unless you are a pro you should get Media Center.
HPs7500 is fine to buy for your purpose.

Recently AMD has been ahead of intel in performance.
CorelWord should satisfy the basic needs. Buying Microsoft Office is not really worth the money.

XP Media Edition is for watching T.V., alot of home movies, etc. What you want is XP Pro, it's better for your intentions than Media Edition... Good Luck
