I'm assuming you're talking about the 2.0 or 2.16 Ghz MacBooks. You won't be able to tell the difference in speed. I'd get the 2.0 and then spend for a 2nd Gig of RAM (for 2 Gigs total.) It will run all the Microsoft Office apps you need (talk to me when you get it.) The only other difference between those models is the 2.16 has a superdrive (CD player/burner + DVD player/burner) while the 2.0 is only a combo-drive (CD player/burner + DVD player.) But I doubt you need to burn DVDs. I'll go to the Apple Store with you if you want.

Hard to argue with the Dell prices. I think the MacBooks are a great deal, but it's different. You pay more than those Dells (way more in this case) but you get way more. So they're both good values, it's just a question of what you need (Apple doesn't have a product that competes against these super low end machines.) Maybe the Dell would be okay for you. Do you have someone to help you with Windows?

I vote for more memory rather than a faster processor. More memory and faster hard disk will buy you more real speed (depending on application, your mileage may vary).

The Windows/Mac discussion is a religious rather than technical issue.
