Is it better a computer with
A) 256MB (RAM) and a 1600mhz processor (intel celeron m380)
B) 512MB (RAM) and a 1300mhz processor (intel celeron m350)
Thanks for your insights

Go with A. You can easily upgrade ram later. Processors, on the other hand, are hard to upgrade and more expensive.

Well Put it this way my comp has a 1Ghz procesor with 384Mb Ram with a 128Mb video card and my dads has a 2.66Ghz processor with 256Mb Ram with a 64Mb video card however mine is still faster by a good 10 - 15 minutes booting up and multi-tasking! So if you don't plan on doing any upgrades for a while B would be better!

Option A is better. 256 MB RAM is sufficient for most purposes. Its better to have a faster processor because your comp will be just as efficient as your processor speed. Additional RAM on a slow machine doesn't really help.

I increased my computers RAM from 256 to 512. There was a dramatic improvement in the speed as most of today's applications are memory hogs.
The best answer really is both. At today's prices, it should not make too much difference.

Both Processor and RAM are important to do faster

256 of Ram is inadequate for today's software. Go up to a gig of Ram.

B)

Use intel duo, it is faster. the RAM determine how many programs you can run at a time. If your RAM is small, you will lag.

bypass with Intel center i5-2310 - 2.ninety GHz with 3GB of RAM ....3GB ram is more beneficial then adequate...u will in simple terms require 4gb even as u play intense end video games or use purposes like SAP and SAS or clinical purposes...
