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

The Atom 330 CPU has very good performance. It can even decode HD video.
Given the fact that it has 4 threads, it can even be used with Windows Vista without having too much of a performance hit.

Update from :2009-01-30 21:57
The CPU gets quite hot while it's on. That happens in load as well as in idle. It shouldn't have been this bad for an 8W CPU.
The chipset eats more power than the rest of the board, that's not exactly *green*.
This is a budget solution, it might be having a dual core Atom, but it lacks the required features to make it the best possible choice.

This thing also lacks a good quality NIC. Other manufacturers ship with dual gigabit Intel onboard, you can just add a WIFI adapter on PCI and you're done.
Those who want to make this a wireless router and a regular router at the same time can't.

Works exactly as expected. Ubuntu is running like a breeze, no configuration problem whatsoever. The built in ventirad is a bit poor (and very noisy) and the unit is obviously requiring some more power than my VIA C7 system, but for the price/performance, nothing to complain about.
