Which mobo, preferrably not ATX but rather mATX, could be good for a Athlon XP mobile.
I am going to build a quiet PC to be used as a file server, playing mp3, running DC++ etc. Via Mini-ITX is not really fast enough and an ordinary Athlon XP is unecessary fast, i.e. produces to much heat.
Is there mobo's to be bought that uses the possibilities in the mobile cpu's and do You feel that is one way to go?

All suggestions or idea's from similiar projects are welcome.

Today I am using a full ATX board with an old Celeron 600 which has speed enough. I however want a mobo with all included.

I would only recomend you to go with the nforce II chipset because it offers very good graphics compared to other sis and intel intigrated graphics chips (this one is on par with a geforce4 MX). Also nvidia's intigrated audio is top notch.
