If you can live without it you probably don't need it.

Actually....I've had a laptop since 1998

That one is still functional....somewhat.....

Currently using one which is from 2002. This one still working very well.

I'm trying to figure out if any laptops have hit the 2 ghz range. (Mine is 1.6)

Thinkpad 600E. Yes it's old. P2-400, 160 megs RAM.

I paid nothing for it, my gf's job was throwing it away. I installed XP on it and stripped the OS down so it runs quicker. Runs fine.

All laptops run twice as fast with Windows over Linux.

(an inside joke).

well you have to factor in the change of processor design. A 1.6 today is *roughly* equal to a 3.0 GHZ pentium 4. Those numbers are not exact, but just a ballpark range for you to work with.
