Which MBP 15" to buy?

hi all. right have old 2008 non-unibody 15" mbp. it's got 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo 3mb l2 cache , 2gb memory. know sucks compared today's standards but, need to. use quite number of things (though 2 or 3 @ time), including email, internet, word processing (as excel, powerpoint, etc.), recording music garageband, video editing/exporting, iphone app development, occasional mac game, , occasional (lightweight) windows game using wine. kind of slow @ points, requiring reboot going again, less imagine. unfortunately, it's taken abuse due lugging around in college, , think it's time buy new one. i'm hoping $100 app store gift card offer. there 2 options me. want 15" screen. so, assuming 500gb 7200rpm hard drive , antiglare screen, same overall price either 2.0ghz model 8gb of memory, or 2.2ghz model 4gb of memory. or, 2.0ghz model 4gb of memory, , save $180. so, more worth it, 200mhz of processing speed or 4gb of memory
