Hi,
I’m deciding between these two printers since they’re priced the same. I’d like the 2340DW with its all-black design, not the gray version of the newer 2350DW. Both have identical specifications except for the 2350DW which offers 64MB memory and a faster 600MHz CPU compared to the 2340DW’s 32MB and 266MHz.
How noticeable will these improvements be in everyday use?
I print roughly 100-150 black and white documents each month.
Thanks!

For that standard printing quality, I anticipate no noticeable variation.

Thanks! Good to hear.
So if there
will
ever be a slight difference, where would you notice it? Just slower time-to-print for the first page, or what?
Thanks again.

Right.
If you were doing a LOT of printing, a faster CPU and more RAM would help.
But again, if you were doing a LOT of printing, you wouldn't be considering entry level printers...

Would you like to know if the printer stores the whole document in memory before printing? I looked at some of my recently printed PDFs and noticed sizes ranging from about 8mb to a few hundred KBs. Regarding the CPU, at 600hz it indeed operates faster than the 266hz you mentioned.

No, it doesn't save the entire process initially.
The print spooler in your OS delivers it to the printer based on its own decisions.
With a faster CPU and more RAM, it can begin sooner and process the next set of data more quickly.
In this situation, the difference is minimal.
