I'm pretty sure they still make the 9000, and the
9200 is about the same price (unless you get the SE),
The ironical part is that the 9000 pro has a faster
GPU than both the 9200 and 9200 SE.
It's not a 9200, it's a 9200 mobility, you're
expected to realize there's a difference (and
probably not for the better.
It's all about marketing, some people will want
a 9200 whether or not it's really a 9000.
It's simpler to just label it a 9200 rather than
label it a 9000 and try to explain why it is
identical.
The ONLY, repeat ONLY difference between 9000 and 9200, as others have stated, is AGP 8x support.
As the motherboard only supports AGP 4x, adding
extra circuitry that would make *no difference at
all* would be stupid.
Sure they're misleading you, but it's no more
misleading than a desktop company that puts a real
9200 in a machine with an AGP 4x motherboard.
ESR has never tried to take credit for anything the FSF has done. The OSI is simply a more moderate version of the FSF (except that it doesn't produce software).

I don't understand how Linux's legal future could NOT be in the hands of the US legal system.
