The pentium M has been getting alot of attention lately on the desktop. The DFI 855 MB allows for some pretty serious overclocking which can result in some pretty serious performance. I'd imagine that DFI (or some other board vendor) will realease a 915PM based board. Put a 2 ghz Pentium M the revision with 2mb cache 533 fsb) onto that chipset and you could be in for some serious OC fun.

I mentioned pelts...

I'd imagine that even at 3 ghz you'd be hard pressed to get the said proccessor to output more than 80w of heat, though I'm only speculating. Slap a 100w pelt (common, is 100w really that much?) on and you could be headed for some seriously low temperatures.

Maybe its time to break out that meanwell psu...and a suitable pelt....and some foam, dielectric grease... hell I might have to make my own block for this one.
