Yea, yea. I know, what am I doing with a Socket-754 CPU? It's for a little beat-a-round box for usenet/torrent leeching.

Currently, I've got a Biostar K8NHA-M Grand with a 3700+. However, I have a Mobile 4000+ lying around I'd like to use (which I can't seem to get the Biostar to support, so..) However, the main reason to upgrade is for the Gigabit support. I'm going to be transferring files back and forth from this machine so I'd like to to be as quick as possible.

I figure if I'm going to try and find a replacement I might as well see how lucky I can get. So, I'm hoping to find a board that supports the following:

1. Micro ATX (mATX)
2. Gigabit LAN (10/100/1000Mbps)
3. Mobile AMD Athlon 64 Support (optional)

Onboard Video/sound/etc. is completely irrelevant, as this will be a headless box. I'm not overclocking it or doing anything other than running uTorrent and SABnzbd.

So.. am I asking for the impossible or does such a beast exist? :p

The msi socket 754 boards support turion 64, so they should also work with regular mobiles, if there's any difference. But they don't work with amd's cool and quiet software. I would also try to get one with the multiplier adjustment.
