this is probably one of the most dumbest moves MSI has ever made...

Yes, it's a pentium-M board, not for socket 478 pentium 4's

haha i was about to laugh at the 478 + pci-e part. but you're right

that is a socket 479 board

its not dumb, the p4 m is a notebook chip.. big following for micro atx and low power chips... all the sff people will get it if they're building it

but we all know Socket A + PCI-e = DNE

If you had an old 478 CPU and wanted to put together a true HW-based PCIe RAID storage solution (with built-in GbE), you'd want just such a board. There were a few, and they're very hard to find now.

it doesnt work with P4 M's, it works with pentium-m's..not remotely the same thing.
