As you can tell the motherboard is finally at newegg. its well over 200 bucks....need cheaper boards! lol o'well.

Now to wait for the DFI...

Nice find, though!

If the Aopen had voltage adjustments, I'd probably consider it...

[jjcom]

yeah too bad. maybe Aopen will release a rev 2 or something. We can hope, but I guess there target market ain't us....

[Perc]

269 dollars... im speachless!! why would they build such an expensive board? i sure hope its just priced like that because they are the first to market with this platform? i sit and wait the prices drops on this platform cause im deff building one...

peace perc,

[Playful_Buffalo]

i hope thats just a short term price inflation :(

[jjcom]

yeah that what I'm hoping...maybe they'll drop the price into my range...come on DFI lets see a $120 motherboard :D..probly not, but its nice to hope.

Both DFI and AOPen have vCore adjustment up to 1.34v only :(

HOPEfully will be like 200 for christmas ... or less! They will always bump the price of some product if they are the 1st ones to come with it on market.

Nice piece of hardware, nice results in games!!!

PS: Isnt this suposed to be in On-line Deals & Sales?

then it sounds like these boards will need some mods. Even on 90nm process, 1.34v is way too low. Lets see some 1.5v boards. Comeone DFI, lets see a Lanparty board made for the Pentium M. Even those Celeron Ms look nice. I'm still surprised how the Celerons have 1mb L2. Just seems....like alot...o'well.

[Kanavit]

wow, interesting. Uses the same P4 mounting bracket. That should make things very easy , because of lower temps. I must say a very attractive product from Aopen. Why do they only make micro atx for Dothans?!

[jjcom]

Not 100% sure....maybe the chipset doesn't support that many PCI slots needed for the ATX form factor? I don't know, just a guess.
yeah its nice is uses the same bracket design, should make it easier to find coolers that will work for it.

The celeron Ms do look appealling w/ the 1MB cahce..i agree..Anyone see them being sold anywhere? I know their avail. in Taiwan or Japan but I have yet to see anyone selling the 90nm Celerons (the 350 1.3GHZ & 360 1.4ghz) in the US,,,

for the v-core you can use the vid-pins, rio71 from www.tualatin.de did it, and is now running his banias @ 1,7 (iirc)
for v-dimm you can solder the 3.3V-line of the powersubly direct to the dimm-socket

sry, if the englisch is not as good as it should be!

[jjcom]

nope I haven't seen one yet....maybe someone could talk to HP or something to get a Celeron-M. Could be interesting.....@ 1.4ghz the Celeron was near a 3.2ghz P4 with gaming, but it probly was killed otherwise....but still 1mb cache...:D

[Dillusion]

Good to see it uses P4 cooling mounts and has SATA, im sure someone can get one of those chips higher than the guy did with the micropole chipset cooler :)

[potkit]

socket 479? dothan is 478...

[Siphilon]

socket 479? dothan is 478...


The socket is 479 pins...the chip itself has 478....

[saaya]

no, some are 478, some are 479.
