Actually, there's a LV Dothan available now, like K.Eng forecasted. The 1,4GHz Pentium-M 738 is a Dothan core.

Can anyone here from the not so distant future tell us if the X31 was ever (will be) updated to take the Dothan CPUs? As far as I know, IBM is phasing out the X31. So, that's a no...

The model number they list is TC11FND. I've checked that, and that hasn't even a Dothan, let alone a LV...

No thanks Peter, don't bother, that would be a lot of work!

I've been going through the speclists 'manually'. I was hoping there would have been some kind of marker in the model names... (like MSI who put an F on all their Firewire equipped boards...)

Hi, I was hoping someone would know a rule of thumb to say which R5x models have and which don't have an onboard firewire chip?
