Question: Intel Pentium D 3.40 GHz v. Pentium Dual-Core E5300 2.60 GHz? Answer: the latter is (much) more powerful, the "nearly twice as fast" statement is accurate A few notes: Don't shop based on shop ratings Don't judge CPU based on GHz numbers

I was a big fan of OpenOffice.org, until LibreOffice [libreoffice.org] forked it. Now I use LibreOffice instead. Apart from some Asian font type support -- I assume this won't be an issue for you, LibreOffice is almost perfect. Both OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice are free. Direct downloads...
