For the community's edification...
"Intel Centrino Technology" is not a processor. It is a _set of standards_ whipped up by Intel, mostly for marketing, as they tighten their grip on the industry.
A "Centrino compliant" system has the same Mobile P4 or Celeron CPU that most P4 non-Centrino laptops have, as well as a motherboard based on a particular Intel chipset and a mini-PCI wireless NIC.
The hallmarks of the Centrino platform are light weight, good connectivity, and long battery life...but there are other systems on the market which have extended runtime as well as internal wireless, wired ether, and modem...
You won't have a spectacular gaming experience on a Centrino system because the video is integrated with shared memory.
Most laptops still have CardBus/PCMCIA slots...so you can always add a different wireless card if you need to...
