Great little chip

Posted

Pros: Great for basic usage, low power, low heat

Cons: Not very good at multi-threaded applications

I used this in an ITX build that i made, it is wonderful, and is very fast. Suits basic needs for my mother's pc. Put a SSD in with it, and it will be "the fastest PC ever" xD
