[QUOTE="dennyc123, post: 1639323, member: 215520"] I am about to but a new Macbook pro to replace my old one and I am not sure which is more important for the new purchase, processor and its speed or the RAM, here are the specs of the two I am looking at and I want to know which one you think would be the better performance 2.8GHz dual core i5 boosted to 3.3GHz with 8GB of RAM or 2.2GHz quad core i7 boosted to 3.3GHz with 16GB or RAM. I know the boost is the same but the original clock speed of the second one is lower, will this make a difference or is the answer obviously the second one? thanks for your help [/QUOTE]
