Intel 'D201GLY2' (http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/D201GLY2/index.htm) ('1' (http://wiki.syburgh.com/display/project/SlimServer+on+FreeNAS)) if you will have a fan (it does need airflow, but not much). Don't have a C7, but the Celeron 220 is very fast with SqueezeCenter and has significantly 'better CPU performance' (http://www.imedialinux.com/intel-d201gly-power-consumption-and-performance.html) as the 1.5GHz Via. It's a bit excessive for SqueezeCenter, but similarly priced ('USD $67.24' (http://www.buy.com/prod/d201gly2-motherboard-1-2ghz-cpnt512k-uatx-cache-533mhz-fsb/q/loc/101/205887511.html) including shipping) and runs on 25-28W+HDD. Amusingly, the Celeron 220 is similar to a Core2 Solo (it supports x86_64 and VT extensions), which is very modern but not too useful for SC7.
SC7 is 'almost usable on a 500MHz Geode LX800' (http://wiki.syburgh.com/display/project/SlimNAS+on+Koolu+Thin+Client), so the Via chip is probably quite sufficient. Compared with the PC-1 board, D201GLY2 is ITX sized, has one PCI slot, one PATA interface, and one DIMM slot for DDR2 (officially supports 1GB, seems to work with 2GB DIMMs as well). Mine is fine with about 700GB of FLAC files and boots from a CF card using 'SlimNAS' (http://www.herger.net/slim/detail.php?nr=1026). Only reservation is that it requires a fan at all. -- syburgh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ syburgh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43319 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
