Quick question

[iamtrout]

I've got a Pentium M motherboard and I was wondering if the Pentium 3.0E, prescott core I think, is compatible with this board?

Not compatible. Pentium-M's and P4's are electricaly incompatible.

That's what I thought. I knew they had the same pin layout, and it was ok to put a Pentium M in a Pentium 4 mobo, but I wasn't sure about vice versa.

You can't put a pentium-m on a P4 motherboard either..
