There is also a much more comprehensive test under motherboard tools,
which includes memory and hard disk, and compares actual tested speeds of
the cpu in that board with things like 2.4GHz Celeron. My mobile cpu
tested out only about 70% of rated speed.
We fixed a 2009 laptop (replaced cracked screen, deleted 15GB of highly
fragmented restore files that had slowed it to a crawl) but since it has
an SATA hard drive it won't work with BL, which gets confused and does not
boot in the presence of SATA, unless I unplug that drive and boot from USB
hard drive. Ditto for a 2007 laptop that only needed the case and lamp
connecting wire rebuilt. I will work on a newer kernel.
