not an expert or anything, but I believe that the smallest thinkpads are 12" X series (not quite as small as your 240, which I think are 10"). The X200s has pretty snappy performance with a max of 1.8ghz core 2 duo low voltage (also incredible battery-life, I believe). the regular X200 won't be quite as small and light or long in battery life, but still quite acceptable, and probably faster, but I don't really know. those are probably your best chance at a fast/small/light thinkpad. I would love any of them, but I'm pretty content with my X31, as well (yummy 4:3 aspect ratio and 4.5h battery, but not super slow either)

The "newest" Thinkpad with a 10.4" standard aspect (1024x768) screen is the S30 and S31, which are slightly easier to find than the 240Z. With 600MHz Pentium III and the RAM maxed out at 256MB, they are barely capable to running Windows XP Pro.

unless you tweak that XP Pro to use only 65mb of ram

Closest in weight size (roughly) would be the recently discontinued X61s or the current X200s.
