I'm on a tight budget and I'm trying to buy a customized laptop from Puget (www.pugetsystems.com), going with Pentium M. I'm debating between 2 motherboards right now: Uniwill 245II0 and Sager 4880. The Uniwill has Intel Extreme Graphics2 (64 MB) while the Sager has ATI Mobility Radeon x700 PCI-E 256 MB. I'm not looking to game much, so will 64 MB suffice?
Another thing is that the Uniwill only supports 400 MHz Pentium-M's; the Sager supports 533 MHz Pentium-M's; is there much of a difference between processors almost the same clock speed?
To save time, I've listed the parts I'm talking about below and their prices. All recommendations are welcome!
