CPUS

[ADFM]

Excuse for being off topic. I have a 3 year old IBM ThinkPad which needs a new screen. The ThinkPad is a Pentium 2 333MHz. I am told that the price of replaceing, (about 2000 Canadian Dollars), the screen, I could just buy a new laptop. I am getting confused about the benefits between a 1+ GHz Pentium 3 and a Pentium 4. Can someone please tell me the benefits? What is a Xeon CPU? I like to keep the computer around for many years and use the laptop as a access technology demo machine after doing my own work.
