I do operating systems level work for a living, and here's the rules I
personally use:
1) For Windows, more memory is better than more CPU. 2GB is an
excellent choice (you'll almost never be memory bound unless you're
doing truly enormous things, like serious video/audio editing). In
fact, there
Go with the dual core and the greater amount of RAM. That is assuming
all other things are equal.

Speaking of monitors I just bought the 22" widescreen Samsung
Synchmaster 225BW. This is a moderate cost (U$400) LCD monitor with

As a former electronics/computer guy, I have found it difficult to
follow the Intel marketing anymore and they really don't seem to want
you to compare their chips too directly so they have these relative
value numbering scheme. AMD seems more straightforward with an
equivalent overall speed la
Unless you are doing FlexRadio SDR I wouldn't worry about CPU speed,
especially among these choices. 512m may be a bit small, especially if
you don't plan to upgrade, so the middle choice seems like the best
deal. In any case, I would price them all at 1GB or 2GB and buy &
