Could I use a Mobile A64 in a desktop system?

[imported_Salvatore]

I'm just wondering. Would there even be any benefit to using a Mobile, such as lower voltages or temps resulting in higher overclocks?

I figure a normal A64 processor dissipates like 2x to 3x the heat of a 35W Mobile A64, so since the voltages for mobiles are lower by default and they come unlocked, overclocking gains should be better due to less heat... or you can run it stock with a Zalman 7000CNPS HSF and have it nice and quiet - and cool

Just had a nice mind****, no idea why I put this in Cases and Cooling.

Are you sure the A64 mobile runs at 35w? I thought only the XP's ran at 35w...

i see 35 watt mobile 2700 and 2800 anything higher is 62w
