RL Supplies have got the E2140 Processors in stock and ready to ship. I have just ordered one and they have assured me I will have it delivered tomorrow:)

How can that be when Intel are saying they are not being launched until the 3rd June???
Overclockers have them in stock as well, perhaps Intel set an earlier release date for the UK?
Hmmmmm, if there clock as well as other C2Ds (which they should unless intel suddenly crapped up their production) then we really could be onto a winner here...
Whats the multi??
8 and 9 I believe, as the FSB is set to 800Mhz with CPU frequencies of 1.6Ghz and 1.86Ghz respectively. With a mid range multiplier and smaller cache drawing less power it should prove to be a good overclocker I think. Will do a great job in embedded devices too!..Quote:

Anyone know a good uATX mobo for one of these for HTPC use at around 50-60 quid? Was looking at an ASUS 6150 based board for an X2 before, have no idea what an equivalent would be.
I'd use either the Asus P5B VM

I had thought about going for the Asus P5B-VM, but as the E2140 is not mentioned in the CPU Compatibility list on the Asus website I decided otherwise.
Instead, I decided to try the ECS (yuk!) 650iSLIT-A Motherboard. After a bios update to the latest version every is running sweet.
I had decided several years ago after a bad experience that I would NEVER use an ECS Motherboard again, but what you get for your money on this board made it a no-brainer.

And before anyone asks, no I am not going to overclock it to buggery to see how fast it goes. I just want a cheap reliable system to play the odd game!
