Which CPU would you get?
snedger:
Hello
Been considering building a small-height few inch high portable cocktail cabinet table top that I can move around. Probably won't happen if I can't find a TFT with sufficient viewing angle.
To make things small, quiet and power efficient I've been researching plopping mobile CPUs into a desktop build.
Intel appear to be quicker, but require a specific mobile mobo and for AMD Turion you can plop them on a lot of 754 socket mobos, oh, and they are 64 bit. When is the 64 bit version of mame going to be ready? ;) And is anyone also working on a dual core version yet?
Much less cooling is required, which means almost no noise. According to some web articles, as long as a powerful graphics card is not used, then passive cooling should be possible. Although a casbinet fan is probably going to be needed and spoil the whole noiseless effect - just turn the speakers up!
Cheers

Let me ask a semi off topic question then, I just bought a AMD Sempron 2500 but my motherboard and windows identifies it as a 1000mhz AMD Athlon.
Is it supposed to say that?

Sempron 2500+'s are supposed to be run at 1.75Ghz.
Your FSB and/or your Multipliers are set incorrectly in your BIOS.

Or it could be a jumper setting on the board it self.

quite right... check your motherboard manual to make sure it's on the correct setting if there is in fact a jumper.
