Ingenious Solution : Asus CT-479 Adapter and the Pentium-M 770

The Pentium-M processor has proven itself to be an extremely impressive processor for gaming especially, as its short pipeline and large amount of low-latency L2 cache manages to show amazing performance for today's titles. Not only is the chip highly effective in terms of performance per clock, but it also delivers incredibly low power consumption and heat production levels, making it a very attractive alternative to Intel's high-heat, high-powered Prescott Pentium 4 processors. This isn't to say that the Pentium-M processor is without its issues. The chips are still very expensive, they don't perform well in some high-end areas such as video editing, and there is very little selection in terms of cooling and companion hardware choices.
