Exactly what i was thinking
That CPU is in their new dual core laptop line. Intel gaming sucks for the desktop, but their mobile CPU's when overclocked are rediculous beasts due to their much better amd-esque architecture and blazing fast load of cache.
The Pentium-M clock for clock beat the crap out of any AMD CPU when it came to gaming. And now the Yonah beats the **** out of AMD when it comes to gaming.
Any problems though? Yep, they're laptop (mobile) CPU's. This means there's no desktop motherboard support.
Asus developed an adapter to put a P-M chip in a P4 motherboard such as the P4C800 or P4GD1. These boards allowed GREAT overclocking with the Pentium-M chips. There were a couple motherboards released that supported the P-M without the adapter but they sucked when it came to overclocking.
Now with the new Yonah chips a lot of motherboard manufactuers have been developing desktop boards to support, the most promising is from Aopen.
But, there's always a catch... Which is they are non-existent except for Asia, and even then they cost around $250-300 USD. Compare this to the average motherboard costing between $70 and $200 USD and you can see this board is only for the hardcore enthusiest with money and connections.
I wish I had one
