    I have some questions to ask about HP and notebooks in general.

    1. Are the Pentium M 715A, 730 and 740 processors Banias or Dothan Core?
    2. How do you configure HP Compaq buisness notebooks? on there website i can only choose what accesories i want.
    3. What are the ATI Radeon Express 200M and Intel GMA 900 the equivilents of?

    Yes, the 715A, 730, 740 are Dothan processors(2mb L2 cache).

    The configuration of business notebooks are limited to only certain components. They are not fully configurable.

    The Xpress 200M is supposed to be built on the same core as the X300 but they are not as powerful. A step below the X300 and probably would be in the same performance range of ATi 9500?

    Intel GMA is integrated graphics...they are an improvement over the extreme graphics 2 but still they are in the lower range.
    Review of the GMA 900...
