lol, i hate them so much kormarth (the mobile laptops) lol they are very slow, once the welcome screen has gone away, they take like 30 seconds to stop loading lol and then they are very loud.
EDIT: Jeeze, you know you can just edit 1 post instead of creating a string of your own (you just click on options on the post you want to edit and then click edit from the drop down menu)
thankyou marc! lol (from the first page) you all need to stop dissing the inspiron 1100, because it is a great laptop, and mine could probably outperform anyones laptop here, except for batter length. lol
marc, i could switch my laptop stuff with ease, i have put together laptop and all that, but im just starting to learn about compatibility (like what processor works with which motherboard, and ratios etc....)
i need a powerful computer, because i cant stand lagging, and what happens when you are trying to play a game on an old computer, with like 2 frames per second, and i like to run a lot of things at once, like now im running aim, aol, 6 internet explorers, windows media player, and windows update. and its not lagging, or slowing down one bit, but i also know that with a pentium 4 2.4Ghz it will go faster, multitask better, and it will be better for games and things, but i dont install many things that have processes that start when you start windows (and that cannot be changed in preferences to not start with windows). on my inspiron 1100 i have:
encarta enclyopedia 2004, aol 9.0, aim, msn messenger, real one player, wordperfect 11,
lavasoft adaware 6, intervideo windvd 6, dell truemobile 1300, nero, ya and some more, but when i start windows, and it finishes loading, there is 23 processes running, and my computer takes about 15 seconds to start.
Well, if speed is an issue (especially loading), I'd make sure your hard drive was atleast 5400 rpm and I'd definitly switch to away from the celeron processors.
Your probably went overboard on the ram considering the most you'd need is 512mb and I doubt you even need that on a system like that.
Finally, seeing as how your 13 years old, I have a feeling that gaming might be something you'd eventually like to do. As such I'd recomend getting the 5100 series instead due to the non-integrated graphics card. However if you feel like actually doing some work to get a good system I'd recommend checking out the refurbished computers (outlet.dell.com) and get a better system for less money.
As an aside I'm also curious what exactly you're going to use this notebook for. And for the love of god could you stop using the lol's since thier placement makes no sense.
EDIT: The period and return key are there for a reason, please use them (the rule is 2 spaces after each period for the next sentence)
Sorry to change the subject of the original post ( i know i will probably get shouted at, sorry in advance!)
I was reading one of your older posts in which you upgraded your processor from a Celeron 600 to PIII 850 if i am not mistaken http://delltalk.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=insp_general&message.id=52098&highlight=#M52098, i seeking some advice on upgrading as you have had past experience. I have an Inspiron 3800 600GT (Pentium 3 600MHZ) and i am considering upgrading processor to an 800-850 which ever i can get hold of. My questions are:
1. Did you see any change in any major change in speed from 600 to 850 MHZ which made the upgrade worthwhile?
2. How does the original cooling fan/heatsink cope with the extra MHZs?
3. Is it fairly straight forward to upgrade processor by following instructions on Dell website?

Memory helps with multitasking. Processors do not. and 512 is more than enough for the simple programs you run. Unless you are running intensive video-editing software, that is too much memory. And again, as a 13 year old, you have more than enough power. If you want to upgrade, go ahead since you are clearly not listening to us. I'm just saying it will be a waste of money.

I guess I'll post this again:
1)Why exactly do you have a laptop?
