wbmw, re: "As far as I know, the mobile Pentium 4-M chipset is based off of the i845, which supports both DDR and SDRAM."

From Intel's datasheet the 845MP appears to be DDR only. See: ftp://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/datashts/25068701.pdf page 13 (I didn't review the entire document)

re: "Clearly, though, the laptop manufacturers chose to use the higher performing DDR."

DDR is clearly a technology well suited for performance notebooks based on competitive price, high performance, and lower power. Yes, I would like to see AMD notebooks using DDR first or at all (!) but it is good to see that the transition has started.
