    Does anyone know what processors this chipset supports? Will it support a P series CPU?

    It will support 800MHz FSB processors for sure... best one for price and performance would be T9300.. if u lucky , it might support the P series processors but that's rare... i would just get a T9300 and undervolt it and u'll get same or even more battery life compared to having a P processor series with ur laptop.

    There is no GL40 chipset on that page.

    Sure there is. It's buried in the thread.

    Maybe you would like to point it out. I went through all 22 pages searching for "GL40" and that phrase was not found.
