...Notebook speed issue I think data bus speed is the culprit here. The Front Side Bus (FSB) is the data channel that connects the processor, other chips, memory, and the video circuitry. The motherboard in this HP laptop runs at a pokey 100MHz FSB. A comparably-priced Toshiba (A45-S121) runs at 266Mhz FSB using the same 2.8GHz Celeron. The processor can support up to a 400MHz FSB.
