    Hey everyone. I am going to build myself a new Asus Z63a soon.
    Can you use the Pentium M 1.5ghz (2mb version, .90nm) in it? The Asus website only says "Speeds at 1.6Ghz-2.50Ghz (Dothan), 400 & 533Mhz FSB". The old Dothan processors range from 1.5ghz (715) and up. The reason why I want to do this, is because the old Dothan 1.5ghz processor goes for a lot cheaper than a new one.

    you can call me the Concatenater, i'll add the 99% + 1% and say that I'm 100% sure it'll work (although there could be a slight floating point error in my addition :p)
