"But suppose it launches a fanless desktop revolution?" Such could happen now, but so far it doesn't seem to be a big thing outside of Japan. With currently available parts, you could build up a fanless desktop with nForce chipset (which I have been told by a nVidia rep. supports PowerNow!) and mobile Duron or A4. Throw in a 2.5" or 1.8" hard drive and an external, brick-type power supply and you would have a very quiet, low power system. Yeah, it would be somewhat more expensive than an equivalent desktop unit, but it wouldn't be all that much more expensive. With something like PowerNow!, power consumption of the CPU is a non-issue.
