Hi Jean-Daniel, > Is there any company doing a ready-to-use board with this chip? > Something like what soekris does...but with the VIA C7 chip...
I have received my first Jetway mini-itx board yesterday. My supplier lists it as: Jetway J7F4K Series VIA CN700 VIA C7 @ 1.5 GHz D (TDP 25 W) It has 2 onboard Gigabit devices (Dual RealteK RTL8110SC 10 / 100 / 1000 PCI LAN PHY). With an add-on board, you can put in an additional 3 of those babies. The total price will then be below euro 200. Unfortunately, I'm experiencing memory problems with the board, so I haven't been able to actually boot it. As soon as I can get it to work properly and find out about the PadLock stuff on this board, it is off to Melbourne. Be well... Nico
