The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

OC'ing is not really recommended and you really cannnot OC it high enough to see any tangible difference in performance.

Well, it depends on what type of speed you are talking about. If you want quicker load times try a faster hard drive or perhaps more memory. After 1 gig, for now, adding more doesn't really make a lot of difference.

I admit, I don't know much about your system. However, there's more to a system than the processor. Just like there's more to a person than their brain...their heart for instance. I had a Celeron running in a desktop for about 3 years, with a quick hard drive and lots of memory.

Good luck!
