Asus rolls out notebook to PC adaptor

Asus has launched the CT-479 CPU adaptor that enables users to run a notebook
processor on a desktop computer. The upgrade kit brings quiet and cool
performance of the Intel Pentium M Socket 479 notebook processor onto Asus'
Socket 478 desktop motherboards.

The CPU upgrade kit is a newly launched solution that incorporates the socket
479 directly onto the motherboards. Asus motherboards combined with the CT-479
offer flexibility, allowing machines to support both the 478 and 479 processors,
including the latest 533MHz FSB Dothan platforms, on one single motherboard.

The CT-479 further provides front side bus (FSB) jumpers for CPU support
flexibility. Depending on the purchased CPU, users can select bus frequency of
533MHz or 400MHz. It bundles a quiet cooling fan made specifically for the
Pentium M processor.

The Asus solution offers four DIMM slots, maximum 4GB memory support,
dual-channel DDR 400 architecture and AGP 8x graphics standard. Currently, the
CT-479 supports the Asus P4P800 SE and P4P800-VM motherboards and the Intel
Pentium M processor series.

The
Intel Pentium M processors that can be used are the Dothan 1.5GHz to 2.26+ GHz,
Banias 1.3GHz to 1.7+ GHz, Celeron M 1.2GHz to 1.7+ GHz. Intel's Pentium M
processor Low Voltage and Ultra Low are not supported by this product. The
approximate end user price for CT-479 is Rs 2,196.
