Make in the board Ronnie links to you can use Pentium M CPUs.

Do you mean Pentium 4-M or Pentium M?

Pentium-M's are not electricly compatible, so won't work in a normal P4 board. If you are refering to Pentium 4-m's aka Mobile Pentium 4's then yes, they will work on a desktop P4 motherboard. I am using a Pentium 4 mobile 1.6ghz chip in a desktop board. There are a couple of desktop motherboards out now, that are for pentium-m's like the DFI board that Ronnie linked to, and Aopen has one as well.

Pentium 4-M's suck when compared to Pentium-M's, power-usage wise, that is.

For laptops the p4-m isn't as good for battery life as a pentium-m sure. But if you use a p4-m in a desktop board, you aren't gonna worry about battery life obviously...and they sure make good overclockers. Still the pentium-m is the best thing intel has come up with in a while.
