I'm not to knowlegdable about CPUs'and what they are capable of. I found a HP/COMPAQ Presario 2104us laptop. It has a AMD anthlon XP-M 2800+* with power now technology. I just wanted to know if it is a good processor. It doesnt say how many MHZ or Gigahertz it has could someone tell me about the processor and if it is worth 819 dollars its refurbished from HP. Other specs are 256mb of ram, 30 gb hardrive. DVD/CD-RW Cdrom, ATI raedon Graphics card 64 mb ddr shared memory. Thanks in advance

All though I can't speak as a mobile PC user, I will have to say that the Mobile processor has enhanced the PC/aftermarket a great deal! It's the answer to the unlocked Barton if you have the correct mobo. VERY FAST (from what I have read) IMO!!! YO

I think the price is a kinda high for a refurb notebook, considering you'll have little or no warranty on it. The ram is not very much either and the hard drive is slow (4200rpm). Are you on the move all the time and need a laptop or can you do with a desktop, talking about moving, that laptop weighs 7.3 lbs, I'd prefer something lighter. New laptops may cost a couple hundred more but you get the peace of mind in form of warranty. Check out Averatec laptops you might see something you like within your budget. -- Have a Happy New Year --

Thanks for replying so quickly. Those Averatec laptops are nice looking computers. Thanks for the advice. I still wanted to know about the AMD processor, if its says 2800 or 2200 etc. how do I find out the speed of the processor. Is just 2.8 ghz = 2800 or am I wrong? Thanks again.

Here it is: http://www.e-lectronicsforless.com/copr21larb.html landon, The speed you gave for the XP-M 2800+ is correct (2.133Ghz @ 266FSB), but the others are desktop CPUs...& you omitted several: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Athlon_XP_microprocessors Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @8x210mhz 512mb PC3200 Ti4200/8X 128mb WDC 60GB
