LOL

+1 for it needs a x16 PCI-E slot.

The only thing I don't like is that there is just a 1x PCIe slot. They could have at least made it a 16x physical slot for greater compatibility.

Yea...if they did that, I'm sure this board would be a big hit.

lets see i have an extra E6600 and soon to have 2GBs of extra ddr2-800 and no extra video card this sounds what i need to put those extra parts to work

Not if you want to play GT4 while driving

Hmm, i'm still happy with my 1.8Ghz Via c7 mini-itx

maybe ill something buy this soon when im upgrading my server.
then i'll pair it with... a E1200 and 4Gb RAM.
if it only had a Pci-E X16 slot.... (my current M-ITX has Pci-E)

Not the best system in the world, but the whole thing should run off ~20 watts - and you can't say that for anything Intel makes.

Centaur CPUs look promising...if the rumours are true, then they'll be more efficient than penryn by a significant margin - although they run at a lower clockspeed, negating any performance advantage. Still, for a 2 watt CPU, penryn performance and a passive heatsink is pretty good!

Well theres always the Atoms, I'm pretty sure they use about the same watts as Via cpus, but sadly I have side with Via on the IGPs, I wish intel would've bought ATI, then things would be much simpler, I mean can you imagine one of these with a 780g? I'd be getting one right away and putting it a hollowed out gamecube with a q6600, so I'd have a gamecube that comes somewhat close to the 360 in terms of power!

woah . . .I just thought of something. . . I will finally be able to put the PSU side of my Mozart to good use! ive always wanted an HTPC on that side so I can turn off my main comp and still record tv. hmm . . all i need is prices.

Check out Little Valley then: http://www.logicsupply.com/products/d201gly2a

It should completely fulfill your needs for cheap. $80 for a motherboard + CPU.
