Guys, I think you can pretty much get any Atom these days. I have done several installations on the Intel Atoms and never had any problems. I just did an Installation on a 2800MUD (the very latest) and it took about two hours to clock the first motor. It does not have a parport but only a PCI/E. Good enough for a plasma machine as the THC and extra IO is done via USB.
What you have to make sure is that it has a parallel port and a PCI/E slot. That way you can get most of your stuff done. What I noticed on the Intel Atoms MB's is that it is just one board but with various configurations. I made the mistake to not specify that I need a parport and pci on the first order. Now we have a nice media player. They all have very good graphics. Other Marius On 2013/04/09 06:14 AM, propcoder wrote: > Dave, thank you for Gigabyte mini-ITX GA-E350N.
