I don't know about that board, but I've just built a small, low-power general purpose/3-disk NAS box with a Point of View ION-MB330-1 and aside from 6920337, everything's working pretty well with it on snv_131. I'll blog about the build at some stage. I went for the ION+330 board rather than the D510 because I wanted NVDAgraphics support. From the reviews I'd read, there didn't seem to be much in the performance difference of the processor, whereas the graphics performance was a lot poorer with the intel graphics. ION2 is apparently due out soon, so waiting for that might be worthwhile? > On a different sidenote: > > Looking at > > http://ark.intel.com/ProductCollection.aspx?familyID=29035 > > Intel is offering some very low power Atoms, that also have virtualization in > them (VT-x), anyone already seen board for/with them, and knows, if > OpenSolaris will work? I guess it should, though with a 4gb memory limit on many of these boards, would you really want to be running many guests? cheers, tim _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
