Could someone explain what a fast cpu vs a slow one is. What is a good speed for one. I have a 1.66 Ghz T2300 and it runs most of the stuff i have, including Vista. I was talking about a tower i was working on in another thread with AMD 2.08 Ghz. I know this is slow, but its slower than my laptop and I was told it isnt that good, to use it for win98 or linux. What is a good speed these days.

While im here, my laptop specs:

Toshiba laptop
intel T2300 1.66 Ghz
1 gig ram
100 gig HD
integrated graphics(ehh)
Vista Ultimate/Xp pro with Ubuntu virtual machine

Sounds alright... 8/10. No dedicated GPU.
You should read the CPU 101.

Great CPU, Nice MOBO, Excellent RAM and a nice sized HDD.

I would probably get a better GPU, a 7950 or an 8800. :)

I have the 7950 and it's amazing, I think it's the top DX9 card... before the 7950GX2 of course, I can't fault it though!
