    Opinions and Insight please.

    i wanna go with a lower power consuming system. i currently have a mini itx p4 mobo and p4 1.7ghz mobile chip. it runs at 1.2 ghz.

    my question is im thinking about getting a mii12000 because its lower power. less heat and has built in pcmcia. now if i get this right they are both running at 1.2 ghz.

    should i wait for the m2atx and power my p4 system? or should i use an m1atx which i already have and buy a mii12000 board and sell my p4 system.

    DOn't do it. You'll see a major hit in performance.
    If you don't want to wait for the M2-ATX, get a DSATX.
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?

    how much performance difference is there? all i use is gps mp3 and divx. and occasionally a dvd. you think the mII12000 will handle all that easily?

    it will, but the cpu is compleately diffrent, so you will feel a slight loss. But it will be fine.
