I thought that "centrino" reffered to the level of on-chip processor  
cache, and that is why centrino chips are cheaper then the other intel  
processors. As far as I know centrino machines include a high level of  
wireless integrateion and low power applications like laptop usage. I  
don't know that centrino means a certain graphics chipset, does it?

Please correct me if I am wrong, as I often am. :D

As far as graphics go, I am using an AMD64 laptop (in 32-bit mode  
because I think PD's tables still don't work in 64-bit mode) with an  
ATI 9600 M10 graphics chip. Fedora Core 5's Xorg recognized my chip (I  
think using the R350 driver which is probably an eveolution of the  
r300 driver which is still listed on sourceforge)

If you can send me a benchmark I will run it and let you know the results.
