Ok, I am not very computer savvy and have a question about notebooks. I am considering buying the Gateway 200x Notebook with Pentium M 1.4 Ghz Processor and 512 MB of RAM. I love this notebook because due to the Centrino Mobile Technology, its a very small computer as opposed to the much bigger and heavier 2.4+ Ghz computers out on the market.
Now I know that the amount of RAM a computer has is the major componant as to how well programs run, does it really matter that I am getting a 1.4 Ghz as opposed to something at or above 2.4 Ghz if the RAM is equal? Will my programs run that much differently? I won't be running any games, but I will be running some intensive programs such as Illustrator and AutoCad. Thanks for any help!
