Hopefully with any luck it'll be fixed in future revisions.  I was 
reading something about the next gen Atom, IIRC it was on The Register.  
The forthcoming Atom chip sounds rather good, as does the new Athlon 
Neo.  I'm just hoping that AMD release the Athlon Neo as an AM2+ chip 
and that some of these MiniITX board manufacturers cut their prices.
