Sudhian spent some time watercooling and overclocking the Pentium M. The big story at the moment around those CPUs is the appearance of a S478 to S479 (Pentium-M) adapter from ASUS. Some more info here and here (translated). There's some discussion in this thread in our Intel Hardware forum.
LegitReviews interviewed Vivian Lien of DFI, their director of marketing. Bit-Tech meanwhile talked to some NVIDIA people about the "The way it's meant to be played" scheme.
