Re: Computer Nerd Question
Clockspeed isnt everything, if the 2ghz processor is an AMD64 or a Pentium M (if laptop) then the 2Ghz proc will most likely perform better than an Intel p4 @ 3.2ghz.
Personally I would get an AMD64 with 1gb of ram in a desktop or a Pentium M with 1GB of ram in a laptop. The processor clockspeed can be adjusted to your budget.
Ram is easy to upgrade and if you find a need for >1gb you will probably find it is half the cost in 6months to 12 months time when you are thinking of upgrading to 2gb.
If you want to play games like doom3, half life 2 etc then you will also need a pretty powerful graphics card. i.e. Nforce 6600 or ATI X800 etc.
