It's neither really. More memory is good when you're doing a lot of sampling - if you don't have enough memory then you have to stream from disk and that limits your polyphony. But if you're not using any soft-samplers, then 1 GB ought to be enough for most producers.
Having a faster CPU won't necessarily help either though. I doubt you'll find much difference between a 2 GHz CPU and a 4 GHz CPU with all else being equivalent (there's not even that much of a difference between my old Athlon XP 1800+ and my new Athlon 64 3200).
Ultimately, you'll get to a point where the only way to really squeeze out more CPU power is to add more physical processors or workstations (or use hardware instruments/effects). Until then, all you can do is freeze/render.
Axolotyl, how can you not know what an underrun is? It's when your buffer runs out and you get the stutters/clicks/pops.
