Just out of curiousity, what case (if any) have you decided to use with it? Hi Steve - your new mini itx sounds pretty great.

And it even the slowest Sempron+690G will run circles around Atom+945GC.

Now that I think about it, that's about the dumbest thing I could have said -- surely there must be 64-bit ones out there. I fail. :) Ah, I think it would probably explain things if my #1 priority was the the motherboard is fanless, so I didn't even *look* at all the other ones.

Here is one example http://my.ocworkbench.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=78034 The 780G chipset take several times less power then the chipset on your board and can handle HD with the slowest sempron on the market (1.6GHz). This board has 128MB of dedicated memory for the graphics so it should be a bit faster then most 780G boards. Plus it has 4 Sata ports, 8 channel audio, dvi, hdmi, spdif and a 1Gbps ethernet controller (although just one) and can handle all AM2+ CPUs up to 65W (I think there are some phenoms with this TDP).

They've been around for awhile, ever since the socket 754 AMD64 days. Yeah, [i]that[/i] far back. There's a fair amount of boards for AMD socket AM2 and Intel Core2Duo. You need to go read up, man. :D You never knew there were 64-bit mITX boards out there? They've been around for awhile, ever since the socket 754 AMD64 days. Yeah, [i]that[/i] far back.
