RE: Pentium M motherboard (3.5" SBC)

I've been searching a while for a small board.  The thing I fon't like about
most is the ports, standard pc ports are just too big.  I looked a few years
ago and even had a company send me some literature on a DIMM PC but never
got around to buying.  I searched again recently and found DIMM based boards
but they were still 486 class systems.  Is it possible to get something like
that but a little more modern.  I've thought about the current pocket pc
devices and now palm is using the same processor, maybe find one of those
with a broken display and use it as a start.

Doesn't really tell how much it is, though. Or, I just couldn't find
it.  Did you?

Eden 533 (Ezra-T,  4.0x133)@1.20V, Avg: 2.8W, Max: 5.0W
Eden 733 (Nehemiah,5.5x133)@1.05V, Avg: 4.4W, Max: 6.0W

Both CPUs uses 1.0W in StopGrant/AutoHalt mode.

What if one were to run the Nehemiah with a 4.0 multiplier and a lower
core voltage, say 0.95V?

The M100 is IMO still a bit bulky -- get their snap-in PSU and you can
build yourself a box the size of the mainboard itself (17x17x4.5 cm).
