First of all I've looked at the benchmarks, and it seems as though it can beat out my P4 2.8E(I'm talking about the 755). Does anyone here have one that can tell me if it's really all that good before shelling out like $700 cdn. for it. Also would it even fit my s478?

I read somewhere about multiplying a Dothan's speed by 1.6 to get an estimate of what it would equal in P4 terms. Don't quote me on that. I know I read it on AT but when/where I haven't a clue. Keep in mind less power and heat though.

No, you cannot put a P-M CPU into a P-4 socket. The early P-M's were PHYSICALLY compatible with the socket 478, but not electrically. IIRC, the new chips will not even fit in there. Buy a real laptop :p

We will see a pentium M architecture desktop mobo pretty soon (probably) in north America, one's already out in Japan, but for now, you can't get that pentium M power on a desktop.

(the real reason I'm posting is...)

Where can you get a P M 755 for $700 canadian?!?! The stores I've looked at (which I thought were pretty good stores) were selling them at $850+
