Good article... But dollars... Really?
Think I'll just follow most readers and just concentrate reading the US site of Tom's from now on.
I agree. This is a good article............but............
I cannot source this board in the UK (all are saying out of stock). Also, why bother to have a UK site when most articles relate to USA, ie dollars.
It is much better to just log in to the USA site
Wouldn't the Intel Little Falls (M-ITX) board with the Atom processor be a better choice? Same price (if not even lower?) and uses less power?
Ditch the serial & parallel ports, give me a gbit network card and I'm sold! Oh and like other people say, prices in £ ffs
I'm forever being asked to build fast computers, and this proves once again that unless you actually use that power (and wisely), you're not going to see a huge difference. Intel..AMD..doesn't matter; you just don't need to spend a fortune these days and both platforms offer great power thermal envelopes.
..if only AMD would market these features more.
One thing does stand out: no 'C1E Speedstep' support..you'd have thought with a system like this, that such a feature would be standard. Guess it's just an easy way of getting rid of old S-479 gear.
