I'd like your opinion on a dillema I'm facing right now:
I'm configuring a new Dell XPS Gen 2 Gaming Laptop, and I have enough money to upgrade one of two options: I can either upgrade from a 2 gHz Pentium M Processor to a 2.13 gHz one (both have identical fsb and cache sizes), or I can go from 1 GB to 2 GB of RAM. The RAM is $100 more expensive than the processor, but would it really be worth it? Considering that the GeForce 6800 Ultra will be outdated in a year or two anyway, will the extra RAM ever be used before the entire system is out of date? And furthermore, would the extra .13 gHz really give me that much of a speed improvement?
Thanks for your input.
