t8100 intel mobile core2 processor

T7800, T8100, etc..

Is it possible to use these chips in desktop motherboards with x38's or p35's?

it would be nice to put one of these in a desktop for their lower power consumption and FSB. It would give more headroom for oc'ing if its compatible.

Since they use a different "socket" than the LGA775, I think you'll have a hard time finding an appropriate motherboard.

They are socket 479 (aka 478+1) I believe. You'd need a socket 479 motherboard, or 478 with adapter + bios update *I THINK*.

There are desktop boards available, but make sure they support the latest ones.. They are generally meant for an HTPC (silent, small) type pc though, as I understand it.

So they are Merom's.

it would be nice to have a t8100, it has an 800mhz fsb, and a 9x multi ( i think)

plus, its 45nm core2 mobile variant, with low wattage, low temperature thresholds, and i bet, would do 4ghz

Good luck finding something like this motherboard!
