[mythtv-users] Athlon XP -> Athlon XP-M

[nate s]

You may need a laptop mobo to take advantage of the cpufreq.  (at
least I haven't been able to make it work on my XP-M on my desktop)

Also, while this may be handy to current XP owners, if you're buying a
new chip, spend the extra $10 or so for a real XP-M.  That way you
know you're getting the best of the bunch (they are made the same as
the athlon XPs, and tested to see which ones can support that low of a
voltage stably, so they are the cream of the crop so to speak)
