I am building my wife a CPU for basic use. She surfs the web, watches videos, listens to music, and writes novels in Word or Open Office. Often all at the same time. She is not a very serious gamer, she might play Minecraft but that is about it.
I was looking at one of AMD's APU chips because they seem like a good deal for a basic user. I was curious which is better for this type of use, a quad core running at a lower frequency or a dual core running faster. I have these two specific chips in mind:

I was curious which you think would be better for her based on her user type.
