Radarman, Thanks for the reply.I understand with an adapter you can use most any processor.This is true.Since Intel made the Dot.Station,and most not all the components are Intel,I thought I would stick with the Intel processors.As for 133 bus speed processors not working well with this device.I kind of thought so,this is why I mentioned using the 100Mhz bus speed processors,as they seem more comnpatable with this device.I have a new retail D810EMO,that has all the paper work,and the booklet that came with this board listed those processors,that I included in the list.But because the Dot.Station is a Internet Appliance,in comparing the board in the device and this retail board,the board in the device has been modified slightly,also in all readings about this device it mentions the 100Mhz bus speed,this is why I listed this fact.Also the Dot.Station is old stuff,and was made rather cheaply,so I wasnt sure the 133Mhz would work in this device well.As for using that 1.2Ghz processor,I would not have bothered with that,as the processor list only goes up to 800Mhz,and it alternates with 100Mhz and 133Mhz bus spreed ones,I even think that one thats 850Mhz should be smaller,the 100Mhz bus speed may be correct,but I would try for something in the middle of the list say 500,600,700Mhz with the 100Mhz bus speed.That Celeron 300A they use is so old it doesnt even appear on this list I have,it starts out at 366Mhz.Finding these old processors in new condition is kind of hard,as the retail stores now have the Pentium 4's,and those mobile Centrinos.I understand about the power supply,and going easy on this device,I appreciate all the advice.This goes to the device being made rather cheaply.Since these were not sold to consumers directly,and through other provider companys,they made them as cheap as possible,as some sold them, others provided them free with a service contract.They did use mostly quality Intel components,but the frame,tube,and other things were not very high quality,and most of the wiring,and other things look kind of old fashion.I think Tatung made this,as I read some where,that Moto designed this,and that other company constructed the devices.I think they were made in Thailand.
