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

Wir wollten das Board unter Linux (Ubuntu) einsetzen und haben massive Probleme mit dem Onboard Realtek Netzwerk-Chip. Mit Ubuntu 7.10 war auf den ersten Blick alles in Butter, bei längerer Laufzeit ohne Netzwerk-Aktivitäten fiel jedoch das Netzwerk-Interface komplett aus. Wie auf diversen Mailing-Listen zu lesen ist, legt sich der Netzwerk-Chip nach einer gewissen inaktivitäts-Zeit schlafen und der Netzwerk-Treiber ist dann nicht mehr in der Lage, den Chip aufzuwecken.
Ubuntu 8.04 läßt sich gar nicht erst installieren, es kommt zu einem Kernel-Crash beim Laden der Installations-Routine, die Fehler-Meldungen deuten ebenfalls auf den Netzwerk-Treiber hin.
Unter Ubuntu 7.10 funktioniert die Composite-Erweiterung des X-Servers einwandfrei, sodass es eine Vista-ähnliche Optik (durchsichtige Fenster-Rahmen, Mauszeiger mit schatten etc.) gibt, im Gegensatz zu Vista ohne merkliche Geschwindigkeits-Einbußen.
Als Office-Schlampe taugt das Board einwandfrei, wenn man eine Netzwerkkarte aufsteckt und das Onboard-Netzwerk per BIOS deaktiviert.
Ansonsten heißt es abwarten, bis es bessere Netzwerk-Treiber gibt.

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

I love the power of this board and cpu... I bought mine to be used as a low power server running linux or windows... I've installed it into a Travla C137 case, with 2 GB of ram, 1 PCI 10/100/1000 Mb/s NIC, 250 GB harddrive and a NEC slim dvdburner. Tried to install linux (Ubuntu) but that failed. Then I tried Windows XP runs like a dream... Testede HD movies this will show smooth HD at 720p but failed at 1080p... Runs great, doesn't get hot and you get good value at this price...

Great motherboard. Worth the price! Just one thing... I had a few problems with a cdrom drive attached to the IDE cable but, as you can read on the FAQ it is a master/slave jumper problem. It has only one RAM slot so buy in advance 1GB or 2GB in a single piece.
