Both 2009, one is a white 2.13ghz 2gb ddr2, the other is a 13' alu macbook (b4 they changed to macbook pro's) 2ghz 2gb ddr3 ram, both have the same graphic card and hard drive size.

Is the .13ghz enough to make a difference or should I keep rockin the ddr3 ram?

You'll notice a bigger difference in ddr2 and ddr3 then you will in a .13 ghz processor speed, so i'd keep the alu one

+1 to what NZed said.

But if you are set on keeping one of the two, keep the aluminum one. Minor processor bumps are inconsequential compared to the DDR2/DDR3 RAM discrepancy. Not to mention the aluminum Macbook is pretty rare and carries a slightly higher resale value.

If you like using both of them and are basing your decision on performance, as others said, keep the alu.

Otherwise, I think there is such a small difference between them that if you like the look/feel of plastic over alu or vice versa, let that be the basis for your decision.
