Well... you think it's the CPU. You know that you can monitor CPU usage while attempting to stream? That's where I'd start, especially since you tested it wired to the modem already. So you can look at disk usage as well, ram usage, CPU usage, temperature, bandwidth usage, throughput, whatever.

I mean, if you want a new laptop, buy one. Ultimately, that's what the solution will be since the other one is obviously suffering somewhere. But it's just unwise not to try to understand why you're upgrading. Not every laptop out there is well balanced.

EDIT: If you do have a T6600 Core 2 Duo, your CPU is faster than that Celeron.

Trust me. I don't want to buy another one. I'd rather pay 30 dollars for a wireless adapter. The older computer runs great other than this one thing.
