I want to put together a laptop but I'm cannot decide which route to take.
Does anyone know of a good place to buy? And does any have any suggestions
on what to purchase? Centrino or AMD Athlon 64 for a laptop? Any suggestions
or tips where to lean on?

Thanks,
Stephanie

motherboard for a laptop?

You can buy what is known as a Carcass, this is a laptop minus CPU, Memory,
Drives etc...you then build it up to the spec you require.

However these are generally only available from trade suppliers and to be
honest are often not as nice machines as their brandname counterparts.

If you go to pricewatch.com you can find many. When you go to
tomshardware.com, they recommend coboc.com
check them out.

the centrino is not a cpu it is a machine with wifi and other stuff and
usually comes with
a Mobile p4. check out the dell 600m. btw the p4 mobile processor is much
different than a regular p4.
I have a laptop with a 1.6 and it runs as fast as my desktop with a p4 2.4.
the mobile p4 2.0 runs like
a 3.2 gig P4 and make sure you do not get integrated graphics.

that's a good point Jim, it is 'worded' everywhere as "centrino CPU" then
you look at the specs and it comes up Pentium M (mobile 4).
