The Atom-CPU is a perfect basis for a low-cost system. It works very energy saving and therfor is perfect for mobile usage. But also can be used as a server, Car-PC or Multimedia solutions.
Atom-CPU mainly was developed for the upcoming „Mobile Internet Devices“ (MID), which are fielded between notebooks and cell phones. „The processors were equipped in 45nm production with the worlds smallest transistors“, said Intels Vice President Sean Maloney.
As IT-world currently is crying for „GreenIT“ schreit, this mainboard can be the answer. For example Intel was able to reduce the power consumption of the CPU from precessor D201GLY2 from 20W to 2.05W, which is really incredible ! Here other mainboards can not compete with !
For Operating you need a P4 adapter or a PSU with P4 connector

I love this little board. Running XP Pro with a fast perpendicular recording Maxtor 250Gb drive and 1Gb 667 RAM. I am using a Noah case which I've connected the spare Sata to a eSata PCI backplate so I can connect a RAID enclosure. So making a cheap to run server with RAID 1 mirred(2 x 500Gb). I am delighted it copes with a Pinnacle USB DVB-T TV tuner also. It almost max's out at 95 percent, when recording and using bit torrent
I fitted a fan speed controller to keep fan noise down. CPU or Graphics never get over 45oC. I would have given this board 5 stars if it had 1Gb LAN
