hello I am new here I am thinking about buying a compaq with an athlon xp-m 2800, wondering if anyone can tell me anything either good or bad about this cpu. thanks.

hi!!! i have a laptop computer with a athlon xp-m 2800 processor. First of all, which kind of usage are you planning for your computer? I use mine for the office programs, a web navigator (firefox), and some other applications... no games, or very heavy applications. I can't say anything bad about the computer, it is working just ok (considering the price and similar choices, more specificaly, buying a celeron mobile processor). Sometimes, the fan and cpu were working at the top speed, but after installing speedswith xp, it has become much more smoother and cooler... hope that this has been useful...
