[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1259189, member: 145676"] The i7 should be computationally faster. It depends on what you are going to be using the machine for. If you are doing compute intensive tasks like encoding movies or music, and they aren't very big, then the faster processor is the way to go. If you have to deal with large files, virtual machines, a lot of stuff running, then it would be better to spend your money on RAM. Just depends on what you are doing. If you are doing Office, email and web browsing then either is more than adequate. [/QUOTE]
