people putting Barton mobile in their desktop computers?

[PremiumG]

what is the difference between the Barton mobile and regular ones? Aren't they suppose to be in laptops??

Their multipliers are unlocked, plus they run at a lower voltage level...1.45 versus 1.6, I think. No, they don't have to be in laptops, but they're meant for them

are they better OC'ers than the regular desktop Bartons?

Alot better.

Are they able to utilize the power saving features on them as well? I think the Quiet and Cool features on the A64's are a great idea, and, once again, I'm wondering why Intel doesn't implement something like it for their desktop cpu's.

I believe the PowerNow feature requires a mobo with the right BIOS to support it.

Darn, that's too bad.

well, if you overclock, mobile bartons are able to achieve higher overclocks.
If not, they can run at a lower temperature, so less cooling is required=less noise
