I just bought a Sony Centrino 1.83Ghz, 512 RAM, laptop and I don't know if I should spend an extra $100 to buy a Sony Duo Centrino 1.83Ghz, and with 1024 RAM laptop.
Is it worth the extra 100 Bux ?

Yes. The extra ram & dual processor cores will enable you to run software much easier in the future without the machine getting outdated too fast.
Also check and see if the machines have onboard or dedicated video hardware. You can tell if it says shared ram. If shared, then it is onboard video. This means if you have a 256MB video card onboard, it removes 256MB from the total available ram installed on boot to use only for video. Having the extra ram would be good in this aspect as you would have more memory available for running applications.

No, because you can get extra RAM for about $40 for a half gigabyte. Actually, a half a gigabyte is probably enough, although if you are using the machine for heavy picture processing or something else big you might have a use for more.

somewhat it does not be that a lot faster, you word there are 2 processors interior the Intel center Duo, although this methodology ought to in elementary words be loaded with techniques from one in each and every of those processors. the reason it remains faster although is by way of Load Balancing. even as the P4 is operating each and everything with the help of its in elementary words center the middle Duo sends all the different classes and techniques to the different center till its performed. This all occurs very right away so that you do not truly word it. you could also set classes to in elementary words use one processor, like I set all my media applications to apply the 2d processor in elementary words so as that they don't interrupt any of my different artwork. To set processor association, bypass interior the pastime manager and bypass to the techniques tab accurate click on this methodology you opt for to set and bypass right down to Set Affinity.

It's always worth it to have more ram. But you can probably find it cheaper. But you get what you pay for. Be sure it's heat shielded.

yes...it makes it easier to have multiple programs running at once without relying on your page file. and if you want to run VPC or VMware you need a good amount of ram.
