    Pentium M Centrino MOBO?

    Yea was hoping it will work in a standard 478 board as you can get mATX ones pretty cheap i guess its a specific intel chipset that supports EIST. If anyone can point me to specific boards, or has tried anything like this before i'd appreciate their wisdom :)

    Recomend A Random Mod

    Ive always wanted to fit safety toggle switch covers to some meaty flip switches... and could make it so that you have to turn on a row of them in series and as you do more bits of the pc will light up and spin up :D and then maybe a big red "start" button!

    The most confusing time to upgrade

    looked at their benchies too, but still not overly keen to waiting. im going AM2. AMD brought it out this early for a reason, becuase they knew they would lag several months behind intel so they put their foot out to try and hook the amd loyals into buying into am2 rather than conroe. however...

    The most confusing time to upgrade

    Have read the conroe benchies and also read the accusations of foul play. While i give intel the benefit of the doubt, im not swayed by benchmarking that was done 6 months before a product release. i do think something is fishy with their AMD setup. While intel may be getting back on the...
