Hi,

I am looking at buying a desktop and have narrowed down my choices to 2 machines with exactly the same specs, but different CPU's.

Machine 1 CPU: Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q8300 (4M Cache, 2.50 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)

Machine 2 CPU: Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E7500 (3M Cache, 2.93 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB)

I plan on using the PC for the following:

Music Playing

Software Development

Virtual Machine Running

Gaming

"General Work"

Which CPU would better suit the job?
