Peter, I can't help you, but being a GID, I must correct your terminology.

"Centrino" is not a chip. It is a combination of a Pentium M Processor (including the new Dothan), one of the Intel Centrino Mobile chipsets on the mainboard, and an Intel Wireless LAN card.

A notebook cannot be legally marked as a Centrino unless all three are in place. That's right - the Centrino brand MUST have an Intel Wireless LAN card built in to the notebook (that's the only way the Intel cards come anyway).

Anything else is NOT Centrino.

Regards,
Ed.
