From March 30th by Christopher Purcell posted this note below: I have been partial to the Intel D525MW and the D525MWE but the E350N board should be much faster than the D525 boards. The Intel board was discontinued last fall but they still keep making them regardless. the newer Intel MITX boards has a video chip (3650?) that is very unfriendly with Linux. Intel really screwed up on their latest set of MITX boards.
I have abandoned conventional rotating drives for LinuxCNC apps since the required drive space is very small and SSDs in the 80 Gig range are under $100 now. Intel has one SSD that has a mean time between failure rating of over 100 years. So the CNC machines I do now might outlive me! ;-) I had been getting about 3 years of continuous use out of a rotating drive before it began to malfunction. I need to order some parts from Newegg this week and a E350N board will be part of the order. Dave >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> After a long day of trying different graphics drivers, I got the accelerated graphics to work on the Gigabyte GA-E350N mini-ITX board, with AMD E-350 D processor and integrated AMD HD 6310 graphics on Ubuntu 10.04. This board uses about 32 Watts as measured on a power meter when the latency test is running and glxgears is showing about 1000 frames/sec. Newegg sells this board for $80.00. I bought it because it has a parallel port, which seems to be getting rare. The advice that finally fixed the graphics was: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Lucid_Installation_Guide#Ubuntu_X_Team.27s_PPA. The only issue with this board now is that it does not boot from a USB stick, and this is a known problem. The LinuxCNC latency is very good, and I posted the results to the Wiki. Next I will play with hooking up a Mesa 5i25 to it.
