Now that I'm back in nz I'm going to take my laptop in to get fixed (under warranty hopefully).

I just checked the hp spares catalogue and they no longer stock the original processor, instead they say to order a different one. From memory they were exactly the same except the new CPU had a much lower fsb clock rate. I think it was 1800MHz whilst the original was 3600MHz

(see processors on this page partsurfer.hp.com)

how much our a performance impact would this have on my computer? Its getting old and is starting to show it in terms of performance.

Sorry if I have already asked this. I have a strange recollection that I already have :p

Cheers and tia.

Its very similar so I'm assuming it will take it on the chin and either use it fine or install drivers on boot, but then again, perhaps not.
