    Plan to drill for oil?  Got 345,000 maps to process before ya do?

    Nah; one of the great things about Linux (in general) is how well it
runs on 10-year-old hardware.  If you want to game, get a PS3/etc; all
this CPU-hype is largely to run the anti-bot, and anti-anti-bot software
you'd likely pick up on "the other leading brand".

    Video starts being useful at about 2,000 bogoMips; a decent P2.
Anything newer is just "gravy".  There are lots of salvage-shops out
there; check for compatibility ('cause it's a laptop)
(LinuxOnLaptops.org?) but there's no need to shell out $2,0000 or more
for decent performance.
