Very low power with Turion processor.

Reviewed By: Guarionex on 6/17/2007

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: I combined this motherboard with
a Turion MT-37
and the iGoLogic Model iPMKIT-110 Mini-ITX DC-DC Power Board. With a low porfile CD-ROM Drive an a usb drive it idles at 33.3 watts. Running mprimes loaded power maxes out at 56.7 watts. I used the Watt's Up Pro to measure total power use at the power chord level.

Cons: Kind of expensive for a 754 mobo. Albatron now has a AM2 socket motherboard that has 2 SO-DIMM sockets for a maximum of 2GB of memory, so it is possible to put together a SFF dual core computer.

Other Thoughts: I'm building the case so that I can minimize wasted space. But still need to test power use under kernbench and with a 2.5" hard drive installed.

BIOS support of CPU's

Reviewed By: JHmotorwerke on 2/18/2007

Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Supports ITX form factor with the potential power of a desktop. Lots of I/O and dual video supports 2 monitors.

Cons: This info should be considered before purchasing this the K151PV-754. Support of Mobile Athlon 64 +3700 and +4000 CPU's do not operate in this board. Apparently the BIOS does not recognize these devices. I believe the Turion 64 does operate, although I have not tested it yet. I now have un-useable Athlon 64 +4000 and +3700 Mobile and a board that still doesn't work. Albatron's website is useless and there is no BIOS up-date available.

Other Thoughts: The concept of ITX format included low power operation with low wattage power supplies. The Athlon 64 lidded versions when used in this board require power supplies larger the the whole ITX computer.

Be Useful - Own it first, then review.

Reviewed By: DIGItonium on 12/7/2006

Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day

Pros: -Very fast BIOS to XP startup.
-Very good component layout.
-Super Small form factor.
-Supports Turion Mobile (25W!)
-Supports Cool 'n Quiet
-Supports Addonics SATA-CF adapter.
-Onboard nVidia with DVI suitable for gaming emulation and DVD playback. (Contra wahoO!)
-Plenty of USB ports.
-Screw onboard sound... PCI slot for X-Fi 7.1ch audio goodness!

Cons: -PRICE!
-Lacks SmartFan!?!??! O_o
-Stability of nVidia driver on CD is questionable (it was a sanity check to make sure stuff actually works)
-No HDTV output.
-Socket 754 CPU availability is in question...

Other Thoughts: This system is easy to build without the need for proprietary "non-desktop" hardware. The board is perfectly suitable for CarPC applications (glovebox!). It is currently being tested with a 1GB CF 66x card using a SATA adapter with 1GB RAM. Despite the slow write speed of this card, the read speed (nLited XP) is fast enough to rival the boot time of my WD Raptor system! Definitely well worth it!
