Hello!

Which iBook is faster (these refer to the latest 14" iBook):

1 Ghz G4, 1.25 GB RAM
1.2 Ghz G4, 768 GB RAM

All other specs being equal, the first option is $158 more (with Crucial RAM). Which should I get?

the difference between 256 and 768 is like light and day for even average users, however the difference between 768 and 1.25GB doesn't amount to much on an ibook with a slow bus
that being said i'd go for the 768 MB RAM
the slight processor boast isn't much for $2000 more between 1 and 1.2GHz but you also get the larger HD and AE, making it worthwhile
