well, it was announced in may, but still not
available. Anyone knows whether AMD will sell them
in USA or Europe in near future ?

I don't quite understand what you're asking? a Small Form Factor Althon computer or a Althon as a chip by itself?

I think he's talking about the low-power version of amd xp (mobile version), and if that is the case, they are being sold, if that's not the case, I'm clueless.

I'm talking about low power AMD chips (max 35W disipation)

that will fit in socket A desktop motherboard.

I think that the common mobile athlon chips used in notebooks require special motherboard ?

This will probably not help you in any way, and I refrained from using it in my last post, but just to give you a glimpse of what's actually out there:

AMD Mobile chips

The reason why I didn't include it in my first post was because it's a swedish site (not too many will understand or benefit from it in any way), but they are being sold, and quite cheap also (look at the 1.2 ghz XP($124.75)).
That's the lowest watt for highest performance, then (of course) there's also the xp+1800 (1.5) that draws 35 watts and cost the same as the 1.2 chip.

Hope that helps (?), and please forgive me, I tend to go on, and on, and on... about things.
