I will have this adapter here early next week for testing.
It fits this motherboard.

I thought you guys might want to check it out as this is a new animal to tame.

I'm curious about how does it perform with DDR2 ...... . but ECS is not we can call overclock friendly .
Waiting to see ..... :D

each SIMA card has it's own ram slots..
and unfortunately the one for pm is limited to ddr1 single-channel..
i was hoping for dual channel.. and sli/crossfire support :)

These slot style motherboards could prove quite useful If dothan arrives before Conroe on another socket. Hell I'd go ahead and buy Yonah if there was a socket upgrade I could get ahold of.
This may be the easiest way to do so.

At least it seems to have a standard P4 478 retention bracket ......
CPU
Socket 479 for Intel® Pentium® M processor
High-performance AGTL compliant bus
FSB 533/400 MHz
CHIPSET
SiS® 649
MEMORY
Single-channel DDR memory architecture
2 x 184-pin DDR DIMM socket support up to 2 GB
Support DDR400 DDR SDRAM
Single channel & SiS (http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWeb/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?MenuID=109&LanID=9&DetailID=554&DetailName=Specification), sounds like crap to me. I'd prefer Ct-479.

I am interested in this, it is these " Out on a Limb" Boards that make stuff alittle more interesting. There has tobe some serious designing involved.

Or some serious design flaws involved.
What's the benefit with that design? SiS? Single channel? 775 compatible?
(Some might say that the Waffer PC AirCon PAC 400 (http://www.amdboard.com/waffer_pac400.html) may have an interesting design, still I think it's a POS.)

?Fugger; did you ever receive the card? If so, how did it test?

This should rock with an old SP-94 !

It came in yesterday with the wrong SIMA card. It came with socket 754.
The CPU faces away from the video card and it supports PCIE.
I will post some bios shots and go over overclocking features.

fugger, have you heard any news on yonah getting some desktop support? i mean i love the dothan i have (best gaming chip around!), but i know things are going dual core, and having a desktop yonah would rule.
im watching this thread to see what type of oc's you can acheive with this new dothan setup.... should be fun and interesting! :slapass:

yes on desktop.

Sounds cool, will the P-M have vcore adjustment? in this review: http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=1181&page=6 the A64 on the add on card didn't have vcore adjustment and FSB only went up to 232, do you know of the overclocking specs?

According to what I've heard and seen at a recent seminar of Intel Korea, Yonah is not just for mobile. The seminar subject was "Mobile on Desktop." Nothing confidential actually shown, but there were enough hints.

that makes me very happy. i know what my next upgrade will be, i just hope it suports dual graphics cards :toast:

Like K8, Dothan dosent thrive on lots of memory bandwidth, the single channel ram isn't a performance killer.

Yeah you're right. But the fact that it doesn't have dual channel is telling me that it's not made for performance or OC'ing. The chipset speaks for itself, and I'm not expecting a decent BIOS.
Asus still looks more appealing, or why not wait two months for Yonah? I wonder how long we have to wait for a working mobo though. :stick:

true, Id be suprised to find any voltage adjustments at all on any but the "extreme" series of ECS boards.

Ok, SIMA I9S arrived and it is broken.
The screw is missing from the lock down and I cannot lock down the CPU. I will have to dismantle the socket to be able to lock it down.
The card has a jumper to set FSB
400/533/667/800

just give us a taste -- can you use the 667 fsb / 800 fsb jumper successfully?

I was not able to get the SIMA card to work for Dothan. They are sending out another IS9 card. Puts me back a few more days.

What chipset uses that Dothan card? Looks slow single channel :( P4GD1 + CT-479 is the better choice I think

hahaha INTEL and Nvid keep dreaming AMD and ATi all the way...just kiding those dothans rocks @ss hardcore a dual core version will be insane now if they could make it a little better for something besides spi and gaiming like a normal intel or amd we would have the best chip ever
BTW that is cooming from an AMD fanboy here lol (not really just preffer AMD over intel had them both and for what i do AMD is the best choice)
