If weight's really your biggest concern, you may want to reconsider the Sager decision. I LOVE my Sager, and would recommend them to anyone, but one thing Sagers are _not_ is lightweight.
Funny, every review I've seen of the 4780 mentions how warm they get (mine included). Though mine's been running all day and it's only warm -- I wouldn't call it hot.
Anyway, swapping CPUs should work OK -- I'd guess you'll probably...
I've tried compiling agpgart into the kernel, as a module, and leaving it out completely. It doesn't seem to make a whole lot of difference how I do it. I suspect the reason it's working for other people and not for me is the SiS...
Easy fix: Delete the .gnome (or .gnome2, or both, depending on your version) directories under your home directory outside of GNOME, then go back in. That'll reset GNOME back to defaults.

Linux iolite 2.6.1-gentoo-r1 #4 SMP Fri Feb 6 23:10:36 PST 2004 i686 Intel(R)...
The above settings are what they look like after changing to the internal agpgart. Now, when loading up X, as it's initializing DRI, I get this if I haven't pre-loaded the fglrx module by hand:

I hate it when I enter a big ol' response and then close the browser without sending it...
Anyway, You're right about the version. I'm using 3.2.8 currently, though I did try 3.7.0 a time or two with the same results. I also have...
Maybe the Sentias are different than what I've used, but I've had a couple machines with Intel video onboard, and I will never, ever do it again. The ones I've had to deal with have been the bottom of the barrel, performance-wise, and...
These guys have been making relatively low-end peripherals for quite a while. I wouldn't put down any bets on the quality of those systems, but they do look purty. The specs on the video end of things would keep me from ever buying...
