OK, well I suppose I'll just wait until I get my laptop for uni and make sure i get decent hardware! Thanks again to everyone who has advised me on this. I'll have to cope with 10fps for the time being, and god knows how low they'll go on WJ-Rugby!
I know- It sucks
From where you are now, my probable solution would be to buy a new mobo, case & gfx card and re-use the rest of the stuff from your current system, as the components in your system appear to have been cheap & nasty. It all depends to what extent you are prepared to build your own PC/ spend money.
8X and 2X AGP video card definately make a big difference to graphics performance especially on a Celeron CPU. A good video card will compensate the limitations of Celeron CPU in graphics intensive software.
However, this does not outperform a Pentium 4 PC of similiar frequency and similiar video hardware installed. As I had tried BVE on Celeron, AMD and Pentium 4 PC, I could conclude that Pentium 4 outperforms AMD or Celeron.
Personally I've never noticed a significant performance difference between Celeron and P4, especially with the new Celeron D's, even in games.
However, an AGP 2x slot is definitely going to be a lot, lot slower than an AGP 8x slot. The easiest way to fix that is to change your motherboard (a new one will cost about £40-£100 depending on the brand and quality). It is a difficult upgrade to do, but there is no reason to change anything else, saving the money of buying a new PC.

Hey Lanky,
Don't forget that Anthony, on his projects page, has implied that WJ-Rugby has a planned compatibility with BVE v2.6 and v4.2 so you won't have to cope with such low fps as 10.
