Other than that, hold on you are in for a ride. :D

1208684 2011-06-12 23:16:00 I mean this is for personal use. When I was talking about customer needs, I was talking about myself as a customer who has a need for fast printing, fast Internet/Skype etc - this need would be met by upgrading my laptop to a faster one (unlikely option) or by a new $500-900 laptop (the more likely option).

Fast printing?...this is usually due to printer\PC interface (your current laptop mybe using USB1) but more memory can help with spooling!
Fast internet is mostly to do with bandwidth, same with Skype...

Seriously, perhaps you should post your laptop model!, I have a 2002 Toshiba which is fine for everything you just mentioned above, and to be honest, I'd rather that than waste money on a new crippled Celeron!

I have a feeling a format\re-install and some more memory will be enough for your uses!

Edit - just seen what model it is......700m can take up to 2Gb and the 1.6 PM while old is fine with XP...Seriously, unless you are spending over $1k on a new decent laptop (excluding Celerons), I would just spent $150 on RAM, format and re-install and it will be like new!!
