That's it, all there is and it has 1MB Cache too. I'd love to get one.

They're apparently good overclockers too. Just make sure that your motherboard supports Revision E5 CPU's before you buy it.

Great find, that baby is sweet. With my water cooling system on that 2.9GHz + shouldn't be a problem.

Would that even work on a regular s754 mobo with out a voltage adjust in the bios?

Not sure as I have no experience with Mobile A64's. You have to do a little research. From what I do know, there is only a few boards that will run this chip. It may also require a modded BIOS to even use it at all. I know I would be 100% positive that my board will run this chip before I dropped $300 on it.
 
Ahh...Did a quick Google search and came up with this:

Looks like the 3700+ is the best you can do on that KV8, SteveO.  Abit wont have anything to do with it. DFI seems to be the way to go for this mobile chip.

Some Mobile CPUs will work in desktop motherboards, the mobile is the fastest you can get in 754 pin. One person said he was able to hit 3.1 GHz !!!!!
