Hi,
I'm thinking of getting a USFF core 2 duo pc for €40 to use as a media center. I want to use ubuntu with Kodi or something like that. Just for HD playback.
It comes with a 3Ghz Core 2 Duo E8400 in an LGA775 socket, TDP 65 Watt.
I was wondering if I can use a mobile core 2 duo CPU to reduce power consumption. The desktop CPU's all have a TDP of 65 Watt or more, but the mobile ones go much lower.
Any idea if this platform supports these cpus?

This is the PC:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883108261
The board uses the Intel Q45 Express Chipset and the manual mentions this: "Processor in FC-LGA8 package in LGA775 socket"
For example, the T9400 seems to be readily available and only uses 35 Watt.
Regards,
K.
