160 GHz? You probably mean 1.60GHz, which is the clock speed of the processor (How fast the computer can process information).
L2 Cache (or any cache for that matter), is used to generally reduce the time is takes for your memory to be accessed.
Your ram is the system memory. Most laptops come with at least 512MB.
FSB is Front side Bus and is the speed in which your computer can access memory. This sometimes ranges from 400 MHz to 1066 MHz.
Hard drive is where you store information, and GB is a measure. Most new laptops come with 80GB of space or more.
The combo drive you specify says you can burn CDs and watch dvd's.
Then you have your wireless card which enables you to use wireless internet where there is a router.
Brand new this system should run you about $1200 CDN at most.

Celerons have limited cache and are slow with floating point calculations,
Its also a combi so you cant write DVDs

A good deal for how much money?
The system it's self is fine as a laptop.
512mb will run fast enough as a laptop (but not to play any games)
Widescreen is a plus
Dvd playing drive
40 GB hard drive is fairly good
Should be fast on the internet
Only problem is I would upgrade to Vista, Xp is soon to "retire" and you may feel the need to just stay with modern software and operating system. Ask about upgrading to Microsoft Vista.
On the whole a good system
7/10

Get one of these:
http://www.apple.com/macbook/macbook.html
or
http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/
They're much better computers. They can run much more software, since only they can run OS X, Windows, and Linux. OS X is much more secure than Windows, and it's easier to use.
