T trekbiker macrumors newbie Original poster Feb 26, 2009 1 0 Feb 26, 2009 #1 I'm trying to decide on either a 2.4 macbook with 2GB, or a 2.0 macbook with 4GB. They work it to roughly the same price. Would the memory upgrade make up for the difference in CPU speed? Is it better to have more memory or a faster cpu?
