laptop specification

Should my Compaq Presario Laptop be able to run Edgy as Live from the 
Desktop CD when the process is a intel Celeron 1.30 ghz?
Tried to run Orca during bootup, I have tried F5, 3 and enter twice when 
the drive has paused, before it has paused and even after it has paused 
but no speech and even running Orca after it boots into Ubuntu Live 
which seems to work on my desktop PC allbeit it is very sluggish doesn't 
seem to work.
I thought that leaving the drive until it stops spinning after booting 
into Ubuntu might do it but it hasn't.
My Laptop runs Dapper which has been installed on it although the 
version of Orca I have on it is the one packaged by Luke.
It took me ages to get Edgy running as live on the Desktop but what it 
seems to do is is take a huge amount of time acting on keystrokes and I 
haven't yet been able to run an application.
I am wondering if the Live takes up too much system resources on both 
forcing the Desktop to perform very slowly even though speech is running 
and not at all on my Laptop.
