    Hi, I am thinking of buying an HP zt3000 series online from HP.
    I even have made the configuration and added to cart.
    But when I took a look at the specs of zt3000 series in hpshopping, It says front side bus is 266Mhz! While all other laptops are having 400mhz, why this is 266mhz. Doesn't that slow down the system significantly, also pc2700 rams must be working at that speed even though they can run at 333mhz! Help please! Should that be a significant criterion to buy?

    Is there anyone who can tell whether 266mhz system front side bus would make so much(noticeble) difference than 400mhz front side bus in centrino system?
