What I had seen online, though, is that most desktop MB's don't support
the signaling to make the chip run at full speed (Speedstep) so even
though you may have a 3ghz chip, it's going to run at 1ghz or whatever
it's clocked down to by default.
It may just not be worth using. :(

The reason I asked about the P4-M vs P-M is because they do not use the same
socket. P4-M uses s478, whereas P-M uses s479. From what I can tell, you
-should- be able to drop a P4-M into any Socket 478 motherboard...which can
be had for cheap anymore.

This is just going to be for a media server in my house. I was hoping a
$50 board was out there for it.
I have plenty of RAM at my disposal. I only really wanted to buy a board
and a case.
