Hi folks,

I swear the kids PC knew it was due for an upgrade, just typical though
it fails tonight of all days, just too late to do anything about it.

Not worry though, being a Mini ITX case, I've already got ideas of the
next upgrade, maybe something like this...

*It's an ECS Mini ITX motherboard featuring the new Atom D510
processor.  From what I understand the D510 processor is one of the new
dual core Atoms running at 1.66GHz and features integrated graphics on
the CPU and also an integrated memory controller for better performance
and a bit of a drop in power usage overall (the new CPU uses 13W).

So looks like this is what the kids will be getting.  It'll be more than
enough for them for what they do and it means I won't have to chuck the
case away (although the PSU being an obscure HP part will need replacing).

Nice,

  you could fit two of those ontop of the motherboard I have.

Funny you should say that, I'm sure I saw a load of MiniITX boards stacked on top of each other in a cluster. :-)
