Faster Processor v More RAM

[craigp172cup]

What should you look for when getting a laptop? more RAM or a faster processor.

More specifically, a comp with 2.2GHz dual core2 1GB FSB 4mb cache but 1GB RAM or a 1.66GHz dual core2 677Mb FSB 2mb cache with 2GB RAM

Both. But choose the fastest processor first, as RAM is more easily upgraded later.

By the way, if this will be running Vista then you will want 2GB, but buy it third party later as it'll be cheaper. Try Crucial...
