Re: [LUG] New MiniITX Atom board (and sods law)

 

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).
