if by "but I do recall that saying from my history classes" you mean "so i googled it" then yes

You mean you Googled some obscure French sentence, copy and pasted it into a forum post so you can appear witty, then yes.

Wow, I really touched a nerve. I guess others opinions are the only ones that count.

I merely stated that RAM first, but an i7 would be a worthwhile upgrade as it was only $100 more and merely an ~8.3% increase in price.

Done.

Wow,I posted this a few days ago and just came back to see the verdict and saw all the back & forth with various side arguments. Agreed with the position that X is not equal to X+Y.

With that said, I could get both, no financial issues here, just wondering if I should get both or just one and take my wife for a nice dinner with the extra $100

From what I read and what my usage will be, I think RAM should suffice.

Thank you all for your response.

Cheers!

that makes no sense. i didn't post it.
but i definitely had to google it once he did, as you clearly did as well.

"recall that saying from my history classes" that's hilarious
