Sorry if there is a thread like this already, but I could not find a clear answer any where else on this forum. I am about to buy a new Laptop. The model I have decided on is the acer AS8930, but there are many sub categories. One has DDR3 1066mhz with a 2ghz processor with a 800mhz FSB. The other one has a 2.4ghz processor with 1066mhz fsb with ddr3 1066mhz.

I wanted if the second one would be worth a 200 dollar increase. How important is it to have the CPU fsb match the Memory speed? How much will this increase the speed? THank you -AL
