Chipset: HM55 or HM65

[mercury80]

I'm about to buy a notebook. Probably an Asus U36SD or U36JC. The difference is the chipset (HM65/ HM55), graphics card (GeForce GT 520M/ 310M) and the memory frequency (1333 MHz/ 1066 MHz). If I assume I will never need the better graphics card, what will I be missing with HM55? Got this feeling the faster memory won't make a whole lot of difference...

As long as all other features (USB 3.0, WiDi, for example) and performance (7200rpm HDD, battery life, etc) parameters are the same you'll probably miss nothing.
You're right about the RAM difference having no, or a very minuscule impact.
