Its a Intel Mobile 1.3G Centrino CPU, not sure about the mainboard chipset, My guess is intel (the video and I/O, ethernet, wireless are all intel. I have the 5110 model (the big one) not the little one... the big one was on sale, so I got it insead of the nice little 12" one... So far I like it... it was a hassle getting linux and windows on it, but that isnt a hardware issue, its how thier system restore works (wipes the entire disk instead of the partition...) The issue after that is the NTFS resize issue. I managed to resize the partiton by using a usb ram stick, and Knoppix CD ( I put the NTFS tools on ramstick, and booted knoppix, compiled the tools under knoppix, then ran ntfsresize -s 20G /dev/hda1 (which turns the 40G NTFS filesystem into a 20G partition. After that, I had to use (linux) fdisk to remove /dev/hda1, and add /dev/hda1 (20G), /dev/hda2 (swap), /dev/hda3 (slack root). After that you reboot, and test your windows partion and make sure its ok (well... as ok as windows could be), then reboot and install slack as per usual...
