looks nice, but I think the 12V connector is a bit overkill.
Keep the cables clean and just don't useit. It's not like a default 25W CPU is going to need it.

BTW it's about time the dothan is comming to desktops. Apparently no one is thinking about all the power that's being wasted on a daily base just by CPU's running to fast for what they are doing. Not too mention the teenie wheenie boxes they can make with them. I estimate a fully functional PC about half the size of a normal laptop off course with extra screen and KB-M

I want that board so badly, you guys are always ahead of Xtreme Systems with news, I love ya for that. DAM I just asked JNav about any boards supporting Pentium-M's and in his AMD fixation he said no. I'll get you booyo

:o

Mobo is in RMA :(

Pentium M is still too niche for me to play with on desktop. I understand they perform well in some things, but so does A64. Just b/c intel is putting out a CPU that can keep up with A64 FPU doesn't make it the best thing in the whole world. It's a good cpu don't get me wrong, but if AMD put this cpu out, nobody would care. It's just b/c the P4 has been such a relative flop lately with it's lack of gaming prowess that bringing back a good gaming CPU is so attractive, kinda reminds me of new and old/classic Coke.

Corrective actions could only be taken when mistakes or not the right move is made ..... Intel does not admit the "wrong", hence no corrective action is taken.

If I only wish AMD will make some money; I'll be a happy man.:)

Actually, there's a biiiiiig sticky at XS :)

but it's in the Intel forum, a place not often visited :^D




It also needs to mature but changes are on the horizon with the 533 dothans already announced and the 915 chipset :) for dothan desktops on it's way (due march afaik but only aopen has showed a board with the 915 chipset, no word from DFI yet)

My board arrived today :D
A glimpse of the box :^D

promising.. http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=1687&s=6

what CPU will you be using?

omg 29s on 2.8 ghz, that practicly the same like an a64 ~3ghz with high mem speeds!

My board still ain't back :grum:

But if my board didn't come back this week, I would get a new one on the shop's expense, so there is light at the end of the tunnel, finally :^D
