buying a new processor but no idea what to do
Re: buying a new processor but no idea what to do
With a laptop so old, you aren't going to find anything new currently for sale that will fit.
I suspect too that the CPU you currently have was one of the faster ones (if not the fastest one) that was sold with your laptop, so you are going to really struggle to get anything faster.
How much memory (RAM) do you have in your system currently?

Definitely save up to get a new one, or look at eBay for what's in your price range. It's really not going to be worth it (IMO) to track down a cpu for your old laptop. If you don't do much but browse the internet you might want to look at one of the Netbooks. They're small and light and are great for general computer use.
