More than 2GB of system memory .

<<<...I personally wouldn't get 4GB of memory on a 32-bit system because the benefit is probably next to nothing. Keep in mind that 64-bit Windows XP increases the maximum memory to 16GB, and Intel has scheduled a 64-bit Intel Pentium 4 "Prescott" processor for release within the next few months.

Intel Centrino Pro (Santa Rosa) brings 800 MHz FSB .

The Intel Centrino Pro platform has been all over the news lately, and PowerNotebooks is about to begin shipping several models based on it. The biggest changes for Centrino Pro are that it supports an 800 MHz FSB and includes the GMA X3100 graphics, which is supports Intel Clear Video, Vista Aero, HDMI, and include 3D transform and lighting. Other features include dynamic FSB switching to save power, 802.11n WiFi, Turbo Memory, and EFI, a replacement for BIOS. To be considered "Centrino Pro", a laptop must include:
Intel Core 2 Duo 800 MHz CPU
Intel PM965 or GM965 chipset
Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN
Intel 82566 Gigabit ethernet built-in
As always, if a laptop has the Core 2 Duo CPU and a 965 chipset, it has all the advantages of the Centrino Pro platform. The latter two options are just Intel's way of trying to sell more of their own networking chips. more>>>
