Considering purchasing one of two laptop options which have almost the same specs with the exception that the version with DDR2 RAM is $100 less than DDR3 (there are a few other tiny differences that I'm not too concerned about, such as NVIDIA graphics card vs integrated - I'm not concerned with playing games).
All things held equal, is the performance boost I will get out of DDR3 vs DDR2 worth an extra $100?
(I understand the extra cost is somewhat subjective here, but what I'm really trying to ask about is how much of a difference DDR3 vs DDR2 will make).
