I just put mobile athlon xp into Shuttle SN45G and it detects as "Mobile Athlon XP" in bios. Pretty interesting as my NF7 detects as unknown CPU, even desktop bios have different ways of identifying cpus.
 
It really doesn't matter, it treats it the same as any other chip. The NF7 just doesn't have the name string that corresponds to the microcode the mobile cpu supplies.
