Please note that a 2 ghz processor will make your laptop heavier. I don't reccomend the upgrade if u travel with yur laptop a lot.
The CDRW s/w is the default Xp and has worked perfectly- I think I'm going to put 98se on it for now and use the Xp ( which is worth as much as the laptop) on a newer laptop which someone has #^%$&*'d trying to restore from onbd recovery partition. Been offered it in trade for something that works and can be counted on. Be worth the leap from sub 800Mhz to 2ghz w/dvd-cdrw etc-??
