I usually build Intel systems so my knowledge of the latest AMD products is limited. I want to use an XP-M chip to power my carputer. It will be running mostly MP3 and GPS software. What is the best mobo for this chip?

Thanks in advance.
 
I think you should stick to the Intel you know and love in this case. An older Socket370 board would be plenty for those uses, and could be paired with a low-heat Celeron.

Do you have any size requirements? If not...you can't go wrong with an Abit NF7-S

Micro-ATX would be great but I have no problem building a custom case to minimize the space taken up using an ATX board.

I was looking at the XP-M to get the best performance: Power usage ratio. It will be running XP and other programs simultaneously which generally isn't the strong point of a celery. I thought about going with an Intel HT cpu but I would have to go with an inverter.

Oh and did you ever make that AIW9800pro keychain or is my poor board sitting in a junk pile.

Edit: damn smiley faces.
 
just remember that if you want to run your xp mobile its rated speed, you need a mobo that support multiplier adjustments.
 
Bump.
Thinking about going with this shuttle mobo.

Pros/cons?

Is there a reason you would think it is better than the shuttle for my application?
I was leaning toward the shuttle for the two VGA outputs.
