5.0 out of 5 stars Great ION board for HTPC
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2009
Verified Purchase
Bought this board and assembled it in a short time and installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

A couple notes:
- The system will only recognize 3.5 Gb of memory and by default takes 256 for the GPU (you can increase this to 512 in the BIOS) - after changing to 512 Windows shows only 3 Gb usable (should have just gone with 32 bit, but oh well - it runs fine!)
- You can overclock the Atom - it's hidden in the BIOS - Chipset -> Northbridge -> Performance Options - set the FSB to 667 instead of the default 533 and you've got yourself a 2 Ghz CPU. This also increases the memory speed assuming you put in 667 or faster memory.
- You can overclock the GPU also, but I didn't mess with it.

Windows Experience Score before and after overclocking is listed below:
Category, Before, After
CPU 3.3, 3.7
Memory 4.4, 4.7
Aero 4.2, 4.5
Gaming 5.3, 5.3
HD 5.9, 5.9

3D Mark 2006 score before 1412, after 1560.

I generally use this as a HTPC and Windows Media Player 12 can handle DVD and MP4 out of the box. 720p content runs about 20% CPU on average. I installed Media Player Classic Home Cinema which plays 720p MKV files with subtitles very nicely at about the same CPU as Windows Media Player. I also installed the CoreAVC trial and that got me down to 10-15% CPU, but wasn't as smooth (or as free) as MPC, so I'll stick with that.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good pure HTPC board/kit
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2009

Pros:
This is a good and complete mini-itx board for a HTPC assembly.
Has Wifi-N, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI with Audio, S/PDIF Optical Audio out.
The latest revision has Wake-on-USB bug fixed, so you can turn on with your MCE remote or keyboard.
The stock fan is silent.
Never exceeded 38 degrees C.
Easy to OC upto a stable 2 Ghz; [...]
Win 7 easily found all relevant drivers, hassle free installation, up and running within an hour.

Cons:
1) USB ports are not powered (or less powered), so if you want to use a portable HDD, better use with an external power.
2) Atom 330 is good only for a single application at a time. When multi-tasking, you may find movies occasionally choppy or MCE remote/keyboard non-responsive for few seconds, even if it is OC'd at 2 Ghz.
3) NVidia hasn't resolved a serious issue on HDMI Audio for Windows 7. I am not sure of other OS. So, for now I am using Optical out to receiver, and HDMI Video to LCD TV.
4) HDMI is not CEC compliant, guess I got that right. So, your TV will not turn off when HTPC enters standby or vice-versa. This is actually a minor minor con.

Config & Thoughts:
Case - Athenatech's Mini Itx White Mini Itx. A good case, but has only 1 SATA power but two MOLEX.
RAM - OCZ OCZ2F8004GK PC2-6400 DDR2 800MHz 4 GB Fatal1ty Edition Dual Channel Kit
MCE Keyboard - 2.4GHZ Wrls Multimedia Media Center Keyb with optical Trackball; returned for refund. Haven't found a great keyboard yet
OS - Windows 7 64 bit RC; great nice OS for HTPC or any other apps.
TV Tuner - Haven't seen an USB dongle with hardware engine, so no good use for Atom processor.
Flash - Adobe will soon release flash plugin which will offload to GPU instead of CPU. Advantage Atom.

Final line:
Wait for Zotac's IONITX-F-E, has a PCI x16 expansion slot for TV Tuner, a must for HTPC (IMO)
Or get Zotac's GE9300-G-E, and the only major con that I can think of for this is Wireless G only adapter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive little board that does HD!
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2009

If you are looking to build a light weight system that has the ability to render 1080 HD playback, this might be your ticket. I've got two of these ATOM N330 boards running MythTV. One is the frontend, the other does both frontend/backend service on Mythbuntu 9.04. If you go to the trouble to enable the Linux VDPAU branches, this baby can play flawless 1080 HD with less than 15% CPU utilization. (Typical is 8% in full screen [not windowed] mode. If you use the stock Mythbuntu 9.04, you will need to manually change the sources list and create a new profile for VDPAU, otherwise, you will only be able to play 720p smoothly and that is over 95% CPU.

Mythbuntu 9.10 is now in Beta, and includes VDPAU out of the box, so it will be a no-brainer in a few weeks. (or get the Beta test distro now) Mythbuntu recognizes all hardware devices, including the onboard NVidia video and Gigabit NIC. I didn't check the WiFi, but I expect that to be functional as well. These boards run very cool, with the stock CPU cooler fan being enough and it's relatively quiet, although audible in a really, really quiet room.

Never tried these boards on Windoze, so I can't speak to that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing capability for the price

Hard to believe everything that is built into this motherboard - and the overall performance with a dual core Atom is surprisingly good for a lot of things. You do need to consider your case carefully when buying this to ensure proper clearance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Motherboard
Reviewed in Germany on June 13, 2010

Ich habe das Motherboard seit einigen Tagen im Betrieb und bin davon sehr begeistert.
Der Lieferumfang ist sehr gut denn es werden sogar SATA-Datenkabel mit geliefert.
Ich betreibe das Motherboard mit Linux Mint 9, 2GB RAM, einer 320GB HDD und einem DVD-Brenner in einem JCP MI-102 Gehäuse.
Nach der Installation waren sämtlich Treiber installiert und man konnte sofort damit arbeiten.
Videos schauen (von HDD oder DVD), Textverarbeitung und Tabellenkalkulation laufen alle ruckelfrei.
Ein weiterer Test mit dem Spiel Emergency 3 (via Wine unter Linux) verlief sehr gut, die Grafik lief sehr flüssig und der Sound war gut.
Das Board verfügt über eine Vielzahl von Anschlüssen, so zum Beispiel VGA, DVI, HDMI, Audio out (coax und optisch), PS2 für Tastatur/Maus, drei Audioanschlüsse an der Rückseite die sogar 5.1 Sound bieten und Audio out/Mikro in für ein Frontpanel.
Das eingebaute WLAN-Modul funktioniert sehr gut und die mitgelieferte Antenne ist gut denn man kann sie abwinkeln.
Das Board hat insgesamt 10 USB-Ports wovon 6 an der Rückseite sind und 4 für das Frontpanel (USB-Header auf dem Board) benutzt werden können.
Den seriellen Anschluss, der als Port-Header auf dem Mainboard sitzt, habe ich noch nicht getestet.
Der mit gelieferte Lüfter rauscht ein wenig und muss über eine externe Steuerung evtl. in der Geschwindigkeit reguliert werden, denn im BIOS ist eine Einstellung nicht möglich.
Für dieses Board benötigt man ein Gehäuse mit einem Netzteil denn es wird kein Netzteil mit geliefert.
Die Einstellungsmöglichkeiten im BIOS sind sehr umfangreich.
Ein Booten von dem DVD-Brenner oder einem USB-Stick funktionierte problemlos.

Ich bin mit dem Motherboard sehr zufrieden denn es ist klein und kompakt und ich konnte mir damit einen HTPC (Linux XBMC) bauen der meinen Ansprüchen genügt.
Es ist wahrscheinlich nicht für 'Nur Spieler' geeignet.

Hi,

das Mainboard ist wirklich klasse.
Alles dabei was man braucht.

Die Leistung und die Bios Einstellmöglichkeiten sind gut.

Leider ist die Lüftersteuermöglichkeit beschränkt.

Man muss auf exteren Lüftersteuerungen zurückgreifen.
Aber vielleicht kommt ja bald ein Firmware Update.

Bis auf dem Arbeitsspeicher :-)
Zum Internetsurfen und als Movieplayer, Sehr gut und Optischerausgang und Ton auch über HDMI.
Betreibe das Bord in einen alten Proworx MW100 mit einem 60w Netzteil.
und W-Lan spart lästiges Kabelziehen damit fast überall einsetzbar.
