    If option A is a 3.2ghz Pentium processor and B is a 2.6ghz Core 2 Duo, I would take option B.
    I'm surprised nobody has asked for processor or memory specs yet.... :-\
    Any more info on the computers for us?

    You're oversimplifying. As various posts have mentioned, more facts are needed and there may well be other reasonable, or more desirable, options.

    Also, the poll does say how much RAM they have.

    They didn't say what kind of processor. they just said the speed. for all we know Option A is a overclocked 286, or it could be an overclocked quad core.

    Like I said, I'd probably go with neither anyway, depends who it's from. People giving away free computers like that (without trying to sell them) sets off alarm bells in my head of "stolen merchandise" that they are trying to offload.

    processor and memory specs are somewhat different than speeds and capacity. A 2.6ghz Intel Core2Duo is a lot faster than even a 3.2ghz Intel Pentium dual core processor. Also, if the memory on the 4gb system is running at 667mhz and the 2gb memory is running at 1200mhz, I'd take the 2gb. We don't have nearly enough information to make a good choice.
