and available spare parts.
RockmanXXV, sir your choices got simplier. It's Core 2 Duo.
The Core Duo is being slowly phase out.
They're both practically the same except, Core 2 Duo came out later. And has a different architectural structure to its silicon that gives it a more sophisticated processing abilities. Which gives the edge to the Core 2 as performance/speed is concern, but not by much. And is available in 2 diff. technoligical node flavors. The .65nm & .45nm, if you wanna go technical now. Typically the .45nm node consumes less energy, in turn produces less heat. Which explain why the Core 2 Duo line won the battle for Intel against AMD. You bet ya, AMD is coming back with something new.
As far as lifespan, maintenance & etc... it's hard to predict. There are too many components to consider. Which means, there are too many variables. The one thing I can tell you is, it all depends on how the user/users uses the machine.
For example: Too many people who uses a Flash/Thumb Drives, don't even use a procedure to eject the drive when they're done. In turn, it create an error not only in Windows but to the built-in Apps on the drive too. As errors accumulates, it de-stabilize the Windows which makes the OS unstable. Now do you get my point?
As fas as availability, spare parts & etc. You can't stop progress. Everthing changes as new technology arrives. Core i7 came out sometime ago. Now Core i5 is already available. Soon, the Core 2 might be phase out too. It's just the nature of technology.
Just buy what your budget will allow and worry the rest later. The lifespan of a computer is about 5 to 7 or 8 years. I'm not talking 'bout PC dying here. I'm refering to the age of a PC. By that time your PC is old and it's time for an upgrade or replacement. Depending on whether it is still serving you well or not.
But that's when you typically replace a PC.
I'd advise you to get a Battery Backup for each of your PCs. Trust me, it'll save you a bundle in the long run. Especially the electrical current there is pretty much unstable, not to mention Blackout occurences. I hope these helps. Good luck chief.

Hi sir, what kind of computer shop are you tryin' to setup? A shop that sells Computers & Peripherals? Or are you setting up a Computer Gaming Shop?
For Gaming Shop, you don't have to invest on top of the line PCs. That makes it a bad investment. It makes you spend a lot at the beginning of your business venture. Just buy the computers that fits the purpose. Don't worry about the parts, you can always find a remedy. What's the worst that could happen? Buy a new PC box, that's it. hihihi You can't go around chasing the latest PC or Parts. It's a never ending quest. Besides you'll go bankurpt. The latest Processors from Intel Core i7 Extreme would set you back at lease $1,800 (around ₱85,500.00). And that's just the Processor. For a Gaming Shop, you need to join an Organization pertaining to the business. Like ULOP (United LAN shop Owners of the Philippines), I believe that's what it means. Ms Kuneknek is a member there I believe.
Regarding a Computer Sales Shop, that's a different ballgame. You invest on PCs & Parts for people who can afford. Detemine first your clientel. What's your target market? That will determine the kind of Shop you're opening.
Hi! just wanna ask, how's the NewEgg's return policy. Did you have any difficult experience with them? Just wanna know, 'cuz their prices are pretty reasonable sometimes. Thanx.
