That's it, thanks! I actually have one of these at work but couldn't remember the name of it. I'm also curious if there is more than one such form factor.
Interesting tip about the Via CPU - you can't run VMWare on them. I tried installing VMWare Server on one the other day and there's a CPU instruction that the Via doesn't have and therefore VMWare refuses to install. Thanks for the tips!
