My laptop is Celeron with 1.3 GHz, the desktop is Pentium 4 with 2.93 GHz. Obviously, the Pentium is better and faster, but is the difference really supposed to be that much? My laptop is so very slow to boot up. It's only one year old, and just recently really being used. I did load Office on it, but the desktop also has it and it moves at a normal/fast speed at 2 years old and used all the time. The Celeron is just so frustrating (if that is the problem), before I spend money to upgrade I need to know if it is worth it. Oh, have good firewalls on both, so the laptop is not infected. I'm sure about that. It has always been slow. Thanks.

OK, a couple of answers already given leads me to another. If the laptop can support the upgrade, which do you think will be cheaper: upgrade or new? I really shouldn't buy another one.............I could, but it would set me back more than I am freely willing to spend right now. Thanks for the help!!

get a new laptop, celerons are a thing of the past now. you need to have an intel core 2 duo processor or something of that equivalent, like the amd turion 64x2 processor.

yes, the pentium 4 2.93ghz IS MUCH FASTER. I personally think the celeron line by intel was one of the worst line of cpu's. Yes, if your motherboard can support it, why not upgrade, you will notice a huge power increase

dont waste the money with the laptop, it isnt worth it, just go to a good used p4. and as for celeron vs p four. the old adage is you get what you pay for. the fours are much more reliable and faster. i like them better and have been working on computers for six years.

Celeron is just slow. Only good at single-task. Get a new lappy with the core2 duo and eventually pump it up to 2GB memory

pentium 4 by far not only is it faster but the brand it self is larger and much better. They come out with much higher quality proceesors like pentium core duo

Teh maximum suitable thank you to be certain is to compress trans-code some video and look on the throughput on FPS. use digital dub. or you will discover the time it takes for a small video. and the you would be attentive to which one is quicker. The clock in MHZ could be quicker however the better cache could help greater suited. it is likewise based of the internal layout of the chip. So the video attempt is the main suitable to be certain which one is quicker.
