Question 1

Has anyone installed Linux on this machine?  Did you have any driver compatibility issues?  It looks like Zotac only publishes Windows drivers for their HW.

Accepted Answer

Linux works fine, as do commonly used OpenElec.

Question 2

What is the maximum clock speed on the CPU and GPU with the CA320NANO-U? Can you lock in the max clock (Turbo) of 1.38 GHz simply by sleeping then waking the PC? Can you overclock the GPU using MSI Afterburner? Will it accept any RAM faster than 1066?

My A6-1450 in my Acer Aspire V5-122P max CPU overclock is 1.38 GHz after a sleep and wake. The max GPU overclock is 497 MHz using MSI Afterburner.

Accepted Answer

The max clock speed is 1.4 Ghz (or 1.38 whatever). I have not tried to overclock, but it regularly jumps to 1.4 whenever the CPU is taxed.

Question 3

Does this support 9.5mm drives?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

Accepted Answer
