Answer 1

The processor is what affects the speed of your computer the most. An intel celeron process is the value processor for intel (the lowest performance, cheapest price). In comparison the intel Core 2 Duo is the highest performance but also the most expensive. You will see a huge performance difference in these processors but you will also see a huge price difference. You just need to decided what you are doing with the computer and if you need all of that processing power.

Answer 2

Go for HP most expensive, if you insist on celeron. It is suggested to wait some three months and have the next celeron dual system for some 400 dollars more than now. Getting to buy a new system now will bring delay to your favourite features such as cinema and graphic control of 3d arrays. Insist with your intuition about graphic accelerators, they must be 3d and quad or multiarray, some suckers do try hard to steal ingenious people, hope they all rot in hell. Bye.

Answer 3

nicely it particularly is going to quadruple your memory so as which would be effective. and it will speed issues up slightly yet i'd wager your celeron processor is exceptionally old and sluggish too and could nevertheless be old and sluggish even once you get extra memory. yet sure you notice its slightly speedier. in basic terms no longer through an entire heck of lots.

Answer 4

Sorry... but Celerons are the Worst you can get.
But if you just need to browse the net, play mp3s and do normal office stuff, then that machine is OK.
If you do a lot of multitask and/or use heavy applications... get the core 2 duo

Answer 5

That's a pretty standard laptop, although it does have a great screen. As for the processor, you may find it lacking. Go for a Pentium M or an AMD processor, there shouldn't be much price difference.
