You get what you pay for. The Celeron is a total dog. The newer celeron is based on the exact same northwood core as the P4. Intel just leaves a mask step out when they produce the chip and you come out with a P4 with most of the L2 cache disabled. It cannot be enabled, I recently built a new rig based on a 2gigahertz celeron. 2gig is pretty fast at this time but when I tried to game on it Bf1942 the lag in multiplay would bring the frame rate down to 6 and 7fps on servers with 50 players or more. I got pissed built a new machine with a 2600AMD with a Barton core. Now I get no lag on 64slot servers an lots of people will be screaming about the lag while I walk up and cap them cause they are lagged to a standstill and I am free of any lag Amazing what 640k of L2 cache will do for performance. I would not upgrade the laptop unless you are going to game on it. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
