what is the best & fastest processor for my cpu? And how much does it cost? my cpu is intel pentium 4 1gb.?

Cpu and Processor are the exact same thing. You need to find out what type of Motherboard you have. This will be the key in upgrading your processor.

No.\nIf you have listed everything you want your laptop to do you aren't going to need to spend money getting a great CPU. Focus on ensuring that it has enough RAM (at least 512MB) and you should be sweet with any of the listed processors.\n\n///

AMD Processors and Intel Pentium 4's are two popular processors. They are different in internal structure but both function under Windows.\n\nHow are they different?\n\nAMD has shorter pipelines than Intel. In short, this gives a minimal advantage to repetitive tasks, which gives Intel chips a small advantage. But, most tasks like gaming or other processor intensive tasks are not predictive and change frequently. This gives AMD a huge advantage for gaming. Some $300 AMD's outperform $1000 Intels.\n\nAlso, AMD's are generally better bang to the buck (value), which makes them more attractive.\n\nIn short? Either will run Windows, and either processor should serve you well for internet browsing, email and word processing. But if you are a power user or a gamer, AMD is the way to go.

Intel® Pentium® Processor 965 3.73GHz Extreme Edition, 1066MHz FSB, Socket 775, 2x2MB Cache, Dual Core....it is out and its about $1200.00

Personally, I'd go with Centrino (which I believe is now called Pentium M).  I don't believe a Pentium M chip is close to 3.0GHz but there are other benefits aside from the reduced speed of the processor.  The main problems that I have with a P4 chip and any laptop is the amount of heat that is generated and the weak battery life.  A P4 chip wasn't really designed for a laptop unlike Centrino, which Intel designed specifically so that laptops would run longer without as much heat.  I think that's more important.  If you go ahead with the P4 chip, I would definitely make sure that the heat and the low battery life aren't going to be annoyances to you.  There are also more features to Centrino than just these but that's beyond the scope of this question.  Anyhow, most laptops are coming with 512MB RAM, which should be plenty for most common tasks.  If you consider yourself a power user, you may want to go with 1GB.  I'm not too familiar with laptops that come with AMD chips...I've actually never heard of any.  And Pentium is always better than Celeron.

If it's a single thread program, the pentium 3.0 ghz\nIf it's a multi thread program, the dual core.

dual cores are best for multitasking and p4s are best for gaming. \n\nif you dont already have a pentium motherboard though, please consider getting an AMD brand instead. they are cheaper and less resource intensive.

If you can tolerate 1.13 GHz lieu of 1.4GHz, they are going for about 20 bucks on Ebay. I am pretty sure your current processor is a "Slot 1", but if i'm wrong, then you have a "socket 370". You'll need to know this for sure before you buy a P3 replacement.

The Intel Core 2  Duo processor is ripping the scene up right now.  Almost all computer manufactures are using this processor in their high end systems.\n\nWhen purchasing the computer make sure it says "Intel Core 2 Duo" and not "Intel Pentium D (or Dual-Core)."  That is an older model that uses much more power and delivers less performance.\n\nIt is okay for your Core 2 Duo processor to have a lower clock speed than its Pentium D counterpart.  (Ex, a Core 2 Duo at 2.4 GHz will outperform a Pentium D at 3.0 GHz).\n\nRemember that if you plan on gaming your video card is just as important as your processor.  If you  have enough money try and grab a Nvidia 8800 series card (totally rocking the gamer scene right now).\n\nGood luck and enjoy your new computer!\n\nUpdate:  A good company with reasonable prices and excellent support / warranty is Dell.  www.dell.com.  You might be able to get a cheaper system from a local computer dealer, or even cheaper if you build it yourself.  Be aware that this hot hardware requires at least some knowledge of cooling and power supplies if you plan on building yourself.

I'm simply appalled at the number of people recommending Intel.  I'll just assume that they have been living under the perverbeal rock.  It's not here-say, there's hard proof that AMD just crushed Intel.  AMD occupies the top of every single benchmark comparing their processors to Intel.  Intel processors are slow, inefficient and run hotter than AMD counterparts.  Performance wise you CANNOT BEAT an AMD processor.  The fastest for gaming are the Athlon 64 FX series.  The dual core Athlon FX-60 is currently the fastest consumer processor but you'll pay upwards of $900 just for that processor.  If you need proof Tomshardware has the incontrovertible evidence that Intel just sucks, period, http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/11/21/the_mother_of_all_cpu_charts_2005/page24.html I'd never buy an Intel processor, EVER.

Sounds like your processor is fast enough already to run anything you have for software. I would suggest against overclocking as it will put undue heat on your processor chip. If you do overclock it you wont see much if any change in how your system runs. Ya really wanna take the chance and burn that chip up? If you want to see better performance invest in some more ram sam...

Your best bet to get the most of your processor is to install it. Then boot it up. If it's a respectable motherboard, it will detect the difference and offer you a chance to set it up. Choose the specs that match your new CPU, and it'll give it the best chance of running the longest.

Okay always remember this: 64-bit Processors are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY better than a 32-bit processor becuase they have faster data transfer rate so I always recommend AMD processors with 64 in the title, I don't really care for Intel Processors. Even though this is a bit of topic, heres a question.... Which is better an Intel Pentium 4 with 1. ghz or an AMD Athlon XP 1800+, well the answer is the 1800+, even though the processor speed will be lower than the Intel Pentium but because of higher data transfer speed in AMD CPU's you notice higher speeds in AMD processors, so I recommend always go with the AMD.

Out of those - go for the pentium 4 - but the new intel's - core 2 duo's are really kicking a$$ at the moment. - I'd seriously consider looking at a low end one of those even if it's a little over budget.\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819115005

depends on how will you use it\nthe Pentium M is a dothan core processor centrino based\nit can be faster\n\nand speed isnt always better\nlets take AMD their processors all of them are less than 3 ghz\nand yet they beat all the intel 4 ghz cpus\n\nits a matter of how the cpu porcesses the data\nand a Pentium M is much better desind in that matter\n\nu can use it on a desktop computer by buying a part from ASUS a converter board from 479 to 478.\n\nu can wait till Q2-Q3 2006 and intel will release new cpus based on the new technology but with more cache momery and dual core even quad core.\n\nback to the answer\n\nTomshardware.com performed a test with the converter board and it came out to work faster than many desktop processors even in games.\nbut the best performance is with multimidia tasks.

fastest notebook cpu on date is the intel core 2 duo t7600\n2.33 ghz clock speed\n667 mhz fsb\n4 mb l2 cache\n\n>> maybe u'll find them on tigerdirect & other stores in a few months time\n< presently only available on pre-built laptops >

1.8 is pretty fast.  That's about a 3.0 on an Intel chip.  Intel chips inflate their frequencies quite a bit.  However, a 1.8 centrino for example will perform like a 4.0 pentium if not better.
