Yeah, I couldn't find that info either, although that's what I went
there for.  There's just a dash in place of the chipset name.  The
graphics specs haven't changed at all, so I can't see why they would
change the chipset.  The only thing I can think of is that the bus
runs at 100MHz now.

Maybe.  The high capacity battery used to protrude on the underneath
of the computer, though.  It would seem strange if they shipped the
new stock thinkpad that wouldn't sit flat.  Also, I was wrong about
the battery life --- it's 4.2hrs instead of 3hrs that I mentioned in
my previous post.
