My mother in law has been clunking around on a Dell P3 600 for forever and it's showing it's age. I suggested building a new PC and she gave me a budget of $250-300. She has a nice monitor, keyboard and mouse, DVD burner that I will reuse. I have picked out these:

I'm trying to decide between these cpus and mb:

She uses the PC for surfing, e-mail, work from home, DVD burning, ITunes, stuff like that. She doesn't game at all and will prob use this PC for 5-7 years at least. Which platform will be faster?
