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

Trés bonne carte mère, la réactivité dans les applications est impréssionnante. de plus, les connectiques/accessoires sont en trés grands nombres.
Franchement, j'ai acheté sur carTFT cette carte mère pour remplacer ma commel 1,2ghz afin d'intégrer le tout dans ma voiture.
C'est que du bonheur!

Das Board ist ausgesprochen flott, leider ist der Lüfter auf dem Chipsatz sehr laut. Als Wohnzimmer PC nur zu gebrauchen, wenn man den Lüfter austauscht.

Absolut genial, (TV out) , So kann ich ein
nicht touchscreen und VGA Monitor Anschliessen.

Gutes Board. Sehr gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Reale Geschwindigkeit ist ca. um einen Faktor 4 schneller als ein VIA EPIA mit C3 Nehemia mit 1 GHz.
Linux läuft. Leider wird der TV Ausgang unter Linux (noch) nicht unterstützt. Ausserdem hat der Netzwerkkartentreiber von Realtek einen bug, so dass die Netzwerkkarte bei ca. jedem vierten Bootvorgang nicht erkannt wird, aber wenn sie einmal läuft, funktioniert alles gut. Dieser Bug sollte ab Kernel 2.6.26 behoben sein... Die Hardware ist halt noch ziemlich neu (es ist September 2008) und unter Linux dauert der Hardwaresupport immer etwas länger.

Finally it arrived. One day before UPS mentioned on their trackingsite. In about 20 minutes I build the Atom into the box and connected it to my monitor. Installed Ubuntu 8.04.1 from my external DVD burner. The shop (CARTFT.COM) where I bought the components had a systembuilder on the website. This had me buy an extra 4pin-5.25 cable, but was completely not needed because the powersupply of the Morex 3310 had one already available. I did also purchase a lowprofile heatsink for the northbridge. Between all the too long cables and the driverack I had now a bit more space.

Update from :2008-10-12 10:56
This is a great board. It's fast, but in the Morex case 3310 it generates a lot of heat. Anyone who buys this board should also replace the fan with a more quiet one. My local shop had one for about 5 euros. But I would really like it when some developer created a heatsink covering the Atom and the northbridge for a passive cooled system.
