I am sorry I should have included my code snippet before itself.
Here we go!

            <h:outputText value="#{Message.hardware_type}" />
            <h:selectOneRadio value="#{ServiceBean.hardwareType}"  immediate="true" valueChangeListener="#{ServiceBean.hardwareTypeChanged}">
                <f:selectItems value="#{ServiceBean.HWTypes}"/>
            </h:selectOneRadio>

public void hardwareTypeChanged(ValueChangeEvent event) throws SQLException, Exception{
        FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        String prevCategorySelected = (String)event.getOldValue();
        String newCategorySelected = (String)event.getNewValue();
        if(!newCategorySelected.equalsIgnoreCase(prevCategorySelected)){
            // Value changed. Change the drop down values.
             if(newCategorySelected.equals("Desktop")){
                desktopSelected = true;
                debug("Setting desktopSelected field to: "+isDesktopSelected());
            }
            else if(newCategorySelected.equals("Laptop")){
                laptopSelected = true;
                debug("Setting laptopSelected field to: "+isLaptopSelected()+" Laptop Type: "+laptopType);
            }
            context.renderResponse();
             }
        }
 }

Based on what  hardware type is selected Desktop items/laptop items are displayed.
The code for that is
<h:outputText value="#{Message.desktop_type}" rendered="#{ServiceBean.desktopSelected}"/>
            <h:panelGroup rendered="#{ServiceBean.desktopSelected}">
                <h:selectOneRadio value="#{ServiceBean.desktopType}" id="desktop_type">
                    <f:selectItem itemValue="Standard User Desktop" itemLabel="Standard User Desktop" />
                    <f:selectItem itemValue="Non User Desktop" itemLabel="Non User Desktop" />       
                </h:selectOneRadio>
                <h:message styleClass="error" for=""/>
            </h:panelGroup>
            <h:outputText value="#{Message.laptop_type}" rendered="#{ServiceBean.laptopSelected}"/>
            <h:panelGroup rendered="#{ServiceBean.laptopSelected}">
                <h:selectOneRadio value="#{ServiceBean.laptopType}" id="laptop_type">
                    <f:selectItem itemValue="Standard User Laptop" itemLabel="Standard User Laptop" />
                    <f:selectItem itemValue="Power User Laptop" itemLabel="Power User Laptop" />       
                </h:selectOneRadio>
                <h:message styleClass="error" for=""/>
            </h:panelGroup>
            <h:outputText value="#{Message.docking_station}" rendered="#{ServiceBean.laptopSelected}"/>
            <h:panelGroup rendered="#{ServiceBean.laptopSelected}">
                <h:selectOneRadio value="#{ServiceBean.dockingStation}" id="docking_station">
                    <f:selectItem itemValue="Yes" itemLabel="Yes" />
                    <f:selectItem itemValue="No" itemLabel="No" />       
                </h:selectOneRadio>
                <h:message styleClass="error" for=""/>
            </h:panelGroup>
            <h:outputText value="#{Message.wireless_access}" rendered="#{ServiceBean.laptopSelected}"/>
            <h:panelGroup rendered="#{ServiceBean.laptopSelected}">
                <h:selectOneRadio value="#{ServiceBean.wirelessAccess}" id="wireless_access">
                    <f:selectItem itemValue="Yes" itemLabel="Yes" />
                    <f:selectItem itemValue="No" itemLabel="No" />       
                </h:selectOneRadio>
                <h:message styleClass="error" for=""/>
            </h:panelGroup>

And what about the "immediate" attributes? Are you using them? Can you
show an snippet of your code?
