Which is better?

If you could choose one upgrade for a laptop, would you choose to upgrade the processor from intel's core 2 duo 2.16ghz to 2.33ghz or upgrade from 2gb of 667 ram to 3gb of 667, assuming all upgrades are of equal cost and convenience to install

I would go for the precessor upgrade probbably cause you wont notice the extra 1Gb of RAM?

I would probably go the ram. what are you using the laptop for?

 

[Int3l]

The cpu upgrade (assuming all upgrades are of equal cost and convenience to install)

Go for the processor upgrade. Getting 3GB of RAM is pretty pointless now, not to mention it disables dual-channel mode so it may actually decrease performance.

Go for the processor upgrade. If you want to add memory later it's so easy you could train a monkey to do it.

Go wit the processor upgrade. 2GB is high, 4 GB is overkill (in most cases)... so 3's the in the middle... and thats a bit of an overkill. Processor upgrade you will notice a slight difference, but it also depends on the cost.

CPU upgrade. You can DIY with RAM later, but not CPU

 

[hNic]

both lol

but seriously...CPU

I agree with what others have said as well, you can add to your RAM later, but you cant add to your processor speed later - you would need to replace it.
