Just a general question as I am looking for a new processor for another build. Can I use a Mobile P4 processor in my desktop as long as it meets the FSB and Socket requirements of the mobo? Any information on this subject is much appreciated, thanks.

Yes, just stay away from ASUS motherboards.
Depends on the stepping, B0 steppings only hit 2.4Ghz (200FSB)Peach said:Yes. They overclock nicely too.
Yiffy said:I hear they default to a 12x multiplier in a desktop board though.
It's the truth, no matter how fast the chip is (1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.4...etc) they all can ONLY use the 12x multiplier.
