Hi.
I'm looking to make a fairly cheap desktop system to use as sort of a workstation and for casual, non-graphic intense gaming.
I was wondering if it's possible to build a desktop system based on the Turion processors.
I noticed that Voodoo PC's Eden worstation systems have Turions, but is it because they're able to "convert" this mobile processor to use in a desktop-environment, or is this something anyone could do?
I really like the prospect of using low power and little heat(?)

I agree on this on. just get the energy efficient 35W it peforms beter, but you could use the turion in a desktop. you would just need the 754 board if i,m not mistaking.
