Thread Starter 
So I may be upgrading to the e1705.. my question is I'm kinda on a tight budget. Should I go with the dual core 2.0 and 1gb of ram ..or... dual core 1.6 and 2gb of ram? Also I am upgrading from my 9300 with a 1.6.. will I notice a difference in levels loading faster in games.. ie. Fear/Farcry/etc... Or will it just be a sturdy'er more powerful system?

I'd say go with the faster processor and purchase the RAM upgrade from Newegg like everyone's suggested in other threads.

I'd say processor too. RAM's always upgradeable later on, processor's a bit harder. 2.0Ghz with 1 GB RAM would be sufficient for most tasks, well actually so would 1.6Ghz with 2GB RAM, but I'd still take the 2.0 Ghz, it makes your system specs sound a lot better.
