I think this will greatly affect o/c'ing. Unless you were to specially make a heatsink yourself. Because of the item it raises up the original ssize of the mounting area. And heatsinks now are not designed for this. If you were to try to put a regular heatsink on it would CRUSH the cpu+adaptor. Hopefully these chips wont have any heat factors adding to it and they will still be the beast of air overclockers that they are now.
god i hope this thing supports overclocking...
Damn if that works well and will support all the features of my IC7 then Im getting one and sticking it under my Vapo LS :slobber:
more interestingly..will dual channel memory work?
I would think dual channel memory would work, isn't that chipset dependant?
I'll go look on Asus' site, and email them about MSRP since no one else has said they have and I'm curious.
yeah mem controller is on chipset, nothing to do with chip on intel...
wow, Pentium-M that works with existing asus P4 boards? thats awesome if it works. put an Pentium-m 755 2.0 dothan with 2m, someone get some benchmarks. I think the results should be outsanding.
I think FSB OCing would be hurt, all those extra traces can't be good for high speed signals.
vr-zone says it will be under 50Quote:

Hopefully this product works...I'd LOVE to see a Yonah plugged into one of these suckers...dual core for Socket 478.:D
The adapter has gotta piss Intel off something fierce...and how Intel feels about the adapter will likely be the make or break factor in whether or not Asus releases it to the retail market.
If it supports overclocking, I'm sold! I suppose you could mount a waterblock on it with some minor modding.
Good point about the jumper, I hope that's how it is too.Quote:

I know that it makes me happy since I'm not switching to LGA775 and I dont want to switch to AMD either.
They should have made it so you have to bold the adaptor to the motherboard like these heavy heatsinks do, that way you can install your own massive one on it. Even if you want to use their stock heatsink it wouldn't hurt to have it bolted.
Taken from VR-Zone. :)Quote:
ASUS is going to unveil in the next few weeks an adaptor called CT-479 that allows a Pentium M mobile processor to be used on a Pentium 4 Socket 478 board. Since Pentium 4 and Pentium M has a common NetBurst Bus architecture therefore an adaptor like this is possible. This adaptor is compatible with all Pentium M processors like Banias and Dothan as well as Celeron M except ULV Pentium M due to low voltages. Dothan should be able to benefit much from the dual channel memory architecture of the 865/875/915/925X chipsets and certainly overclockability should improve greatly as well using the desktop boards with much overclocking features. At the present time, only the P4P800 is validated completely and other models should follow soon. The adaptor will be paired up with a PM cooler, a diskette and a jumper selection of FSB100/FSB133. It will be available for a decent price of under US$50.
I don't think the fsb limit is really chipset-dependant, I had two dothans 755 mounted on the same DFI855, one hit 200Mhz, the other freezes over 180Mhz (at the same frequencies, with lowered multi), also on X86-Secret, they showed the same issue, I think that's the cpu which limits the max fsb, not the chipset.
Assuming it won't allow higher o/c than the 855 based boards, it still provides cheaper, easierly available mobos, and all the new fuctions that the 855 lacks of :)
US$50 is NOT DECENT :(Quote:

$50 is a normal price if the product is good quality, we'll find out in a couple of weeks.
cool! for those who dont know i worked on an adapter myself, i had a prototype but there were some bugs, the system wasnt completely stable (845 board+1.4ghz banias) and it took me way too much time to build it, so i stopped working on it :(
it was really hard for me and a sad day i decided to stop working on it, but im just too busy with other things and lack the indepth knowledge to fix some of the small isues.
the asus adapter is much bigger than my prototype, looks promising therefor as they have a lot of logic on it wich probably fixes the signal voltage problem and somehow fixes the other problem of the extra ins on the pentium m i didnt know where to connect on the mobo :D
im very happy to see an adapter though, because it proves all those people wrong who told me its not possible back when i started working on it :)
HA! i was right! :D
but the adapter is comming quite late, i heard there are 915 pentium m mainboards comming out soon, wich are faster than 865/875 boards with an adapter...
but 8657/875 boards are available for really low prices now, so i think its still worth it since the 915 boards arent significatnyl faster :)
$50 sounds fine to me. just find me a place to get one ;)
Ditto. This would make a perfect SFF boxQuote:

Thanks
very good question my friend... it would be cool.Quote:

To do with overclockin with this thing, maybe if you up the board's FSB, the FSB of the processor changes relative to the jumper setting.
