Using most Linux distros- it seems that a 1.4 ghz laptop with 2gb ram will outperform the 2ghz 512mb ram. IS that overview really on track? As in it being more "big picture" functional to have 1.6 ghz P4 with 2gb ram as opposed to 2.8ghz with 256mb ram?
With 256m RAM and any serious multitasking you'll be swapping, which will be a major performance hit. 512 is very comfortable, although I've found some limits with dozens of open windows and large graphics files.
