Beware that P4-M (M's only) have issues with Linux kernels
except for 2.6.  You may experience many issues from wrong
cache sizes to incorrect clock rate.  I've got a laptop
that is a 1.8Ghz P4-M that only runs at 1.2Ghz.

Still it is interesting.  There are several P4 ITX
boards out there and several PIII boards (which will
likely smoke the P4's btw... though people like
to debate that one).
