Aaaargh! Wonderful though it is, reading all this stuff has put my head in a spin. I've just acquired a Shuttle SN41G2 SFF system (version 1) and I'm looking for a CPU that will give a decent balance between speed and cool (=quieter) running. The XP-M 2500+ looks good, but the SN41G2 has no provision for adjusting the multiplier or vcore, only FSB up to 200MHz. Reading around, it looks as though desktop mobos interpret the XP-M's stock vcore instruction (VID) as 1.575V, rather than the 1.45V set by a laptop mobo - see the table at http://www.cpuheat.wz.cz/html/AXP_multiplier/AXP_Multiplier.htm
This seems to explain bunny's "wrong" vcores when using the pin mod alone to set at 1.65V and 1.75V by pinmod.
So, I guess the CPU would get 1.575V by default in the Shuttle unless I apply a mod to allow it to be set lower, and that to set vcore at less than 1.575V I would need to cut L11 and apply a pin mod. Is that correct, please?
With L11 cut, will the Shuttle read the XP-M's VID as if it were a desktop or mobile CPU, as in the table at the linked above?
Also from what I've read, the XP-M will boot initially with a low multiplier (6x?). With no multiplier adjustment by jumper or BIOS in the SN41G2, it looks like the only way to set a higher multiplier is to apply a pin mod. That's no great problem, but at what should I set it? Taking out the CPU and changing the pin mods for multiplier (and maybe vcore) looks like a hell of a way to find that nice compromise between speed and quietness by trial and error. Any ideas what multipliers I might be able to use comfortably at 1.475V (lowest in the pin-mod selector) and at 1.575V (default)?
Or should I just buy a desktop 2500+ ??
Finally, anyone know what PCI bus frequency would be at 200MHz FSB and (say) 190MHz on the SN41G2?
Any thoughts or advice would be welcome, especially if based on experience. Thanks.

First of all welcome to the ocinside.de board, decentbloke 
The first decision you have to make is if you like to overclock by software or with the bridges/pins.
Of course it's easier to overclock by software if you mobo is supported, but you always have to start the software via command line, etc. instead of having a fixed multi/vcore.
So if you buy a new barton, t-bred, etc. which is manufactured after the 39~43 week of 2004 there's at this time no choice - you have to change it into a mobile one and overclock it by software and/or overclock it over the FSB.
And if you buy a mobile processor, you have the choice of using the software, or unlocking the CPU and set the mobile to a desktop CPU (don't hesitate to look at my last Barton/T-Bred painting guide where the mobile Vcore is explained with the bridges) because the mobile processors still don't have the new multi lock.
Of course it's a matter of the processor price and of the used mainboard chipset (nForce2 boards don't work with the software, yet).
So don't put your head in a spin, just think about the first steps and about the money you like to spend
