Would anobody know if it is possible to use mobile Duron or mobile
Athlon XP-M in a regular full size Socket A ATX motherboard?

That would fix the idle power consumption problem in a very nice way.

I haven't been able to find technical specification about these two mobile 
poressors.  Here are two links that are marketing material:

obileAthXP-M_WP_FIN.pdf

What I have found suggests they are Socket A compatible. But 
does Socket A compatibility guarantee these processors work on Socket A 
motherboards?  The support does not have to be perfect. It enough if 
I can boot Linux.
