    Lots of people seem to be complaining that the 1 GHz setup is lagging under certain conditions. I currently run a 2.4 GHz p4, and have no problems running music, GPS, and other programs in the back ground (GPS Secure, EZ Sync, etc).

    Depends on what you want to do. Music only, the 1GHz should work well.

    sounds to me like you will be much happier with a P4 setup
    Is this where the witty comment goes?

    I'd go for the P4 setup.
    AMD XP 2600+/512MB RAM/120GB hard drive
    Opus 150W/DVD/GPS/7" Lilliput TS/802.11g/Bluetooth
    Installed.

    -GPSSecure- - GPS Tracking
    -AltTabber2.2.2- - Handy touchscreen utility.
