Mobile Athlon64 35W CPU

Is there anyone out there who has installed this CPU into a regular 754 motherboard with success?

I'm thinking of purchasing it, but I'm not positive if it will work or not.

i'm not sure if there is a specific good motherboard for it, but as i have heard, they dont work on all motherboards, all the time

I've been reading around about people's experiences. Being that they're new, there are a few kinks to work out, but reports seem to be promising. I have every confidence that in a month or so most s754 motherboards will support these cpus (with a bios update if necessary).

As for recommending a purhcase--I would wait if I were you. If you can hold out for another few weeks, maybe a month, I'm betting that most of the kinks will be worked out. I think it will probably be worth the wait too, these look to be some awesome cpus =)

I think that waiting a month or two is a good idea as well.

Thanks for responding to my post guys...It's harder finding information on 64s than XPs, and anything you can dig up is usually helpful.

Here is a thread about the 62W 3000 mobile. Using an MSI Neo Platinum he got it up to 2.5ghz http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview ... TMP=Linear

Looks like I'll be waiting for the Biostar nForce3 250 chipset to come out...

By then more information on more systems should be available.
