Ive got a Compaq presario c700. Broken battery and chipped side, but fine otherwise. After windows vista broke down, I decided to install Lubuntu. Specs: Intel pentium 2 @ 1.66ghz 2gb ram 120gb HDD Won't start beamng thru crossover. (Not that i had any expectations) 'nuff said.
My grandfather invented the teletype modem while working for a Canadian telecoms company. His invention allowed words to be transmitted over a line. That's the Internet.
Fastest Pentium III was 1400MHz. Pentium 4s weren't really a laptop CPU. 1.66GHz sounds to me like a low-end Core 2 Duo.
Nah, Pentium IIIs ran from '99 to '03. That laptop is from 2007, which is Core 2 territory. It has similar specs to my ThinkPad T60, which has a Core 2 Duo T2400.
Nope, just checked w/ CPU-Z and it says pentium 4. And on the front cover it says Intel pentium, but not which one.
I have a Celeron 333Mhz somewhere, but I don't know how it stacks up to that old Pentium II or III of mine.
You said you have a Compaq Presario C700? http://www.lapspecs.com/detail/hp-compaq+presario+c700 Pentium 4s were 2003-era chips. This laptop is from 2007. It has DDR2 ram, and Pentium 4s support only DDR1 ram. The website itself even lists the specific generation of Core CPUs it has. It can have a "Pentium" processor, there is a bunch of Pentium-branded processors in the Core- and Core-2 generation, but I'm sure it's not a Pentium 4 The sticker on it isn't indicative of the CPU; my ThinkPad says Centrino Duo, but it has a Core 2 Duo. Pentium, in this case, is referring to the system as a whole... I don't really understand it either.
Yes, like I said, it's possible it can be a Pentium, but it's not a Pentium 4. That's all. The T#### really gives it away, since that's the naming scheme Core-series ships use. I only mean to highlight that a Core-series Pentium is a FAR cry from a Pentium II or Pentium III or even a Pentium 4.
Ahh, I see. Thanks. Although that's the pinnacle of irony, being that my laptop gets abysmal battery life and can't connect to most networks...
