Pros: Performs decently, power efficient, low noise. Works with up to 2 GB of memory, and is 64-bit compatible. The onboard GMA 950 2D and 3D accelerator performs adequately for the basic things you would use this board for.

Cons: The video output is slightly noisy, although not very noticeable. It may be an electrical issue with my configuration, but I am not certain. Also, if using Linux or FreeBSD, you may have to resort to using Realtek's driver.

Overall Review: Keep in mind that the Atom CPU was designed for basic tasks, like web surfing, email, etc. Don't expect this platform to handle HD movies or high-powered games, though DVD playback should work. I'm using the following parts with the board: *Kingston 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM KVR667D2N5/2G, Item #: N82E16820134192. *iStarUSA S3 STORM SERIES Mini-ITX Case 80W Power Supply, Item #: N82E16811165041. *Seagate Barracuda ST380815AS 80GB, Item #: N82E16822148231. *SAMSUNG Slim 8X DVD Burner Black Model SN-S082H, Item #: N82E16827151162. If using Linux, you may want to check out Realtek's r8101 driver module available for download at http://www.realtek.com.tw For me, the r8169 module causes crashes using kernel 2.6.24, and behaves sporadically on 2.6.25, even though the bug causing the crash was fixed. r8101 from Realtek behaves correctly.

Comments: Xenosaga is a RPG with good graphics, but the player spends most of his/her time in the drab, sterile interriors of space ships. Gameplay is also completely linear. You never get to pilot any of the space ships and explore; you just wander around in them.

Pros: Been using this board since 2008 in a simple workstation, and it has been very stable with Linux.

Cons: *Integrated graphics output is a bit noisy. The interference is only slightly visible, however. *Lack of DVI output for integrated graphics.

Pros: I'm using it on Mac Mini with DVI and a Linux workstation with analog. Quality is good with both, in the panel's 1900x1200 resolution. Attractive price.

Cons: It took about 5-10 min for me to put it together. The stand wasn't such a pain. Just follow the directions. What was a pain was finding an acceptible resolution to set it up with. It wouldn't take the 1280x960x120hz i was using for the CRT, and it wouldn't take 800x600. After setting it in the 1900x1200 it worked fine.

Overall Review: Moved from an aging 22" CRT monitor.

Pros: Large fan, very quiet. Decent cooling at this price range. With LGA775, it screws on the mobo. No need to worry about prying clips.

Cons: With LGA775, need to remove mobo from case to fasten the nuts on the back of the mobo.

Pros: To add to what I mentioned in my review on 06/18/2008 about video noise/interference: The board seems sensitive to power supply quality. I swapped out the 80 watt PSU from the iStar case, and ran it with a 425 watt PC Power & Cooling PSU. All traces of the video distortion disappeared with the PC P&C unit.

Cons: Nothing else so far
