Hi everyone,

I would like some of your expert advice on choosing between two very similar notebook computers for use at university. They are exactly the same except

One comes with with :  
Intel® Core™ Proc Duo T2400 (1.83GHz/667MHz /2 X 1MB L2 Cache)  
+  
512MB DDR2 SDRAM 533MHZ, 1 DIMM

$899 CAN

While the other has:  
Intel® Core™ Proc Solo T1350 (1.86GHz/533MHz/1 X 2MB L2 Cache)

- 1GB DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz, 2 Dimm
- small carrying case

and is $869 CAN

I do not know how much of a difference this core duo processor will make or if i should go for the extra RAM instead. Please enligthen me on this subject…and advise me which is a better buy…thanks!🙂
