Processor speed or RAM?
Processor speed or RAM?
I was just thinking of this a moment ago and I thought I should create a poll on it...which one is more important to you? Processor speed or RAM? And if possible, indicate and share your reasons why...They call me the mysterious one...
my motto is...when it's hot, chill baby

Intel i7 3.33ghz Extreme Edition with 256mb DDR2 memory ram.
Processor with 100mhz with 24gb DDR3 memory ram.
So, you should choose what?

That's drastic differences Yumeng...let's just take for e.g this instead:
2.4ghz with 2GB RAM
Or
3.0ghz with 1GB RAM
You know what I mean...

I think both the processor and RAM are equally important if you have a powerful processor but little RAM you may not experience the full power of our computer.But on the other side I would say RAM will be should be given a little more importance .

RAM mainly for me, like I can have a core 2 duo and it'd still be quite fine, although i'd miss my core i7 deeply, or a core 2 quad would be fine, but i burn RAM so bad thati'd die without 64bit. I'm using 2.3gb of my 6gb on vista, i tend to use much more on Ubuntu as i do video encoding and while that eats up heaps of CPU the ram takes a nice 800mb hit.

OK..so generally speaking, you guys would go for more RAM as compared to higher processor speed...just like what I thought
Anyone here thinks otherwise?

Balance. You need a good motherboard and also a fast hard drive to keep up with the speed.
Even if you have the best CPU and 4GB of ram, but it'd crawl when you have a 5400RPM hard drive.

Yeah i'd have to agree with that, i had a real old PC, it had 512mb of ram and a Pentium 4 but the real bottleneck in it was the HDD, I stuck the HDD in another PC which had 2gb of ram and AMD athlon dual core and fixed the installation of windows xp on there with the correct drivers and it was still just as slow mainly because of the HDD
