What is the equivalent pentium processor to a Intel Celeron 2.6 ghz processor?

I have a laptop that 'claims' it has an Intel celeron 2.8GHz CPU, but though I have minimal stuff installed on it and have set it so very few programmes run in the background (I dont have Norton antivirus or any other RAM or CPU hog) it runs very slowly and haltingly if I run more than 2 or 3 programmes, or ask it to do things that a laptop with a 1.6 gig pentium processor handles easily. I dont have any virus' and regularly run software to fix registry problems and clear internet and temp files.

I know not all processors are equal and one that a pentium that runs at 1.8 GHz is not nesseceraly better than an AMD that runs at 1.6, Does anyone know what kind of processor in pentium or AMD would be the equivalent to a 2.8GHz Celeron?

Cheers :%26gt;

I have a Toshiba laptop with a Celeron 2.0GHz and it runs great. I added another 512MB of RAM for a total of 1GB - you didn't say how much you have.

Maybe something in your operating system (Windows?) is corrupted. It happens all the time when you install and un-install programs.

Have you tried defragmenting your hard drive? If you don't have much RAM it will be using the hard drive swap file a lot.

Have you tried re-installing your OS? Just try backing up all of your important data and then reformatting and re-installing your operating system or "restoring" from the restore disks.
