    Since I am planing to upgrade my M90 to Merom later on, I was looking into buy a barebone system that had great battery life. Does anybody know the battery life of HEL 81 and HGL 31? I know both has Intel GMA but it shouldl last longer then it's more powerful HEL 80 and HGL 30 model, right? If anybody has input on this please let me know.

    And where can I buy Compal barebone system? I won't be needing the processor, HD and Memory.

    Thanks.

    So I guess there's no major difference between Go 7600 and Intel GMA 950?

    There is a huge difference. The go 7600 is a performance GPU and the GMA 950 is an integrated graphics solution for those who don't care about graphical power.

    I would guess that you will get more battery life from the integrated than the go 7600-based models.
