I am looking at 2 netbooks from Asus...

One has DDR2 but a 1.6 processor vs DDR3 and only a 1.2 ghz processor... same price

which will be better value... planned use is light office work and web
 
Solution
For light office and basic web browsing, I would opt for the higher speed processor. It also depends on which processors they are, if one is a AMD and the other is an Intel, or if one is a true dual-core rather then a single core with hyperthreading, that would make a huge difference.

which two netbooks are you looking at?
