Pentiums use less electricity and if you download, you will need more than 80 gigs for a HD. Also, I personally like to create a 20-30 gb partition for programs so defragging isn't needed as often.

The FX-51 is the one that I've seen compared to the P4EE.

DVD burners will burn CD-R/W's just fine. Life span.... I've never seen a burner of any kind die from burning too much.
I have 2 friends that have burned well over 2k (yes, 2,000) cd's on the same burner and never had a coaster cause of the burner.
