There are no known hardware differences between the Inspiron 8000 and Latitude C800. The two laptops even have the exact same Dell P/Ns for their motherboards and videocards, suggesting the difference is in name only.
The Inspiron 8000 and Latitude C800 are mostly standard hardware. You can follow the handbook to the T and have a functional system (with a few quirks).

Kernel Configuration
The network interface varies widely because there's a number of chipsets and cards available. You could have a modem, NIC, modem/NIC combo, wireless card, or even replaced the internal miniPCI card with something after-market.
Video chipset
The Inspiron 8000 and Latitude C800 have an actual physical videocard that connects to the motherboard via a proprietary connector. Both ATI Mobility M4 and GeForce 2 Go cards with a variety of VRAM amounts have been shipped with these laptops. In both cases, the chipsets are completely standard, sitting on a standard AGP bus, and will work with the usual selection of drivers.

Powersaving Modes
Standby and suspend to RAM DO NOT WORK. The system will freeze trying to resume. (Standby behavior is a bit bizarre anyway -- the screen and the USB bus remain on, kind of defeating the purpose.)
