Pentium M processor with dual channel and PCIE support?

Xal

Apparantly its possible now with this neat little device

http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=54&l3=0&model=467&modelmenu=1

It only works on select ASUS mobos but it uses the 875 chipset and all its functions!!

I think I may take a look into this in the near future

There are motherboards that use the 915 chipset that offers those features as well. But those boards cost about $300US. I think that its AOpen that makes them.

Yep, AOpen makes P-M desktop boards, but as far as I know, they're 855 chipsets.............I don't think they've made one based on the 915, but I'm a little out of the loop these days.............they could have released one yesterday.

The PMs

should come down in price as intel begins their phase out of the P4 and go to the PM as a desktop chip. I heard about the phase out, just forgot where. I wonder when the new souped up PIII (called P5) will come out.

Somebody posted here awhile back (FtR, I think) saying that the P4 was dead, which was incorrect.

Like Weaz said, the P-M is only being used in desktops because AOpen and Asus are making boards that support it. Intel doesn't support it in any way as a "desktop" proc.

As far as the next-gen chip, it'll likely use some of the power saving features of the P-M, and I understand Netburst is probably being replaced by a new setup, but that's about it. It'll still be (probably) an LGA775 chip, still be 90% "P4" design, and likely will have an improved memory controller (I'm guessing it'll probably be an on-board design, similar to AMD. There's been some low-flying rumors about that.) The dual core setup will be slightly different as well, but only in physical construction of the cores. It is NOT going to be a "souped up P3", by any means.
