Hey guys i just came across a Pentium 4-M , 1.8 GHz (BXM80532GC1800D) for free and I was wondering if I could use this in a desktop Motherboard? Like a 845 Chipset or a E7205 you get the drift. Any help would be great.

i believe that you can use a mobile in a desktop mb...

thugsrook had a 1.7M that he had overclocked to 2.6 ghz ... i don't remember a while back 🙂

Yes you can use them, and apparently they are very good for overclocking due to the low mulitplier. IIRC all mobile chips default to a low multiplier, something like 13 (just a guess), but with good RAM, you can take the FSBs sky high.
 
Got a 1.6 running in mine PC at the moment, they default to 12x multiplier and 1.575 vcore - have tried 2 1.4's and this 1.6 and all have managed 2.4ghz without any vcore changes.
