Building notebook-proc help

Well ive decided to build my own notebook, for fun. Ive selected this barebone-
http://www.abs.com/diy/Config.asp?Se...0004&Layout=SD

Its seems like a awesome deal, 9700pro 128mb dedicated, 4.5hour batt life, pentium M, 15''sxga display. Crazy price too. I did some price searching and i found this barebone to be on the upwards of 600 dollars elsewhere!

Now about the proc is where im stuck. It says it can use a dothan but nowhere does it mention the fsb. Ive noticed that for alll of the notebook barebone chassis they all are speced with 400mhz dothans. Ive heard there is a p4m too so am i gettin confused with that? Well im going for this proc...Pentium M Dothan 1.73ghz, 533mhz fsb, will it be backwards compatible with 400mhz? Compatible on that barebone at all? When i do a search on newegg for p-m's, it says that they are all skt.478's? I thought dothans were 479?

EDIT:
I found the full manufacturer spec for this notebook.
855 chipset so means ill have to go with 400mhz dothan.

ok fixed...i hope lol. Oh btw im pricing it out and with that chassis, a p-m 1.7ghz, 40gb WD 2.5' hdd, 512mb ddr ram stick, and not including a optical drive its comin to low 700s. Not bad for those specs.
