This is the final topic I'll start. I've done it this way because it took me forever to find one of my topics in here last time I needed help, so hopefully it'll be easier like this.

Besides I'm sure you guys love being high and mighty in the virtual world (if not in reality).
:D
Anyways. To the point:
MAKE:
What difference does it make if it's DELL, Toshiba, Acer, etc?
Sony's seem to cost more, regardless of specs. A reason? Or is it just iPodism.
PROCESSOR:
This may be where I've been going wrong all this time. I thought that GHz and RAM made your computer slow or quick. But then there are all these names and things, so:
What is special about Celeron?
What is special about Mobile Centrino?
What is special about HT Technology?
Why do some require dual RAM?
ALSO:
How standard is Firewire and USB 2.0?
When's Pentium 5 coming out and will it mean that it's pointless getting P4?
Thanks in advance.

Can you take a look in my other (old) thread about building a pc. Mav or someone would probably be a greater help (I'm guessing), but you might know a thing or two.

It to do with it's application. Centrino is designed for Laptops and has stuff like Wi-Fi on chip. There's the design of this chip to make it energy efficient for laptops and the fabrication scale which a;; adds up to making it more expensive than a standard P4

Just a shame it doesn't work properly if at all!;)

You didn't open your useless tag, and nor did you complete the use the proper syntax for comment.
You'll have to decide about the laptop thing.
I'm getting a laptop (hopefully) before I go to Uni in September.
But it'll be a mac-top, powerbook G4.

My second comp isn't even a Pentium 3 as I thought. It's a P2 450MHz.
:(
I do need a new computer.

My main computer (the one I'm using right now) is from Evesham. I never want to touch Evesham again.
In my experience, although DELL cost a bit more, I've never had any problems with them. If I was buying a laptop, I'd obviously widen my search, but for now I'm just doing some extensive research.
