I have 3 options, the Core2Duo SU7300, Core i5 520UM and Core i7 640UM.
I will be using the computer to run DJ software (Rane Serato Scratch Live, Virtual DJ, Reason 4), as well as general internet and light gaming for while on the road (bioshock, ME2, Crysis, Borderlands, Civ 4)
I'd build with 4GB ram and 160, or possibly a 250GB HDD.
Now, the kicker is that I have an option to get a C2D with 8GB ram, and 256GB SSD for 1000CAD.
Is it worth it to get the C2D for 1000CAD since the bonuses (8GB ram instead of 4 and 256GB SSD instead of an HDD) outweigh the expense of getting the i5 or i7?
