Guess I'll use the one I originally linked..

EDIT: Crap.. Just looked at that board and it only has one VGA port and no DVI port.. Sigh.. I guess I'll keep looking..

Check out the boards at Logic Supply. Some have dual video out. They also have some of the new Atom boards with Nvidia graphics. Here's the link to their mainboards page.

Thanks for the link.. I did fine a few that I was looking at, mainly the Zotac Ion.. Problem is I'm trying to stay under $100 for the mobo (unless I can get one with the DC-DC PSU built in)..

I know what you mean, I had to buy the adapter because I really wanted a AMD based board, with a kick @$$ GPU. So it was what it was. If I could find a AMD based board for the other six units, I would, but none are as thin as the INTEL, and the ones that are, only have like 500mhz for processor.

PS: I bought my MoBo from LogicSupply, they are awesome and have great customer service. Although when I asked them about this Intel board, they never got back to me, even after 3 emails.

I'm really liking the looks of this Zotac.. Dual output but a little steep ($139)..

Well it all depends on how you look at it. My board was $185.00 + $115.00 for the adapter. If you went with the INTEL, it would be $119.00 + $115.00, so in all you'll be saying money. Even if you went with a cheap board and added a graphics card, it would still cost you about $139.00, so I think the Zotac is cheap. Try shopping on other sits like Mo-Co-So.com. They tend to be cheaper then LogicSupply, so you may be able to save.

Yea, I agree... So I will be getting that board, IF you can answer this for me..

This is only going to be doing video (xvid avi's), GPS (Iguidance), and music.. For the most part, that's all it will do.. Will a single core Atom CPU have enough balls?

I had an EPIA M10000 a LONG time ago and that thing was slower then shiite! It also had a slow laptop HDD so that was probably part of it.. Anywho, just wondering if this will be speedy enough...

That board is pretty much perfect for my potential future needs. Now I'm really itching to re-do my system.

It should be more than powerful enough, as long as you stick with XP and get a decent HDD.

Cool, then that's the one I'll get..

Now I just need to decide if I should try using EWF & HORM.. Does using these limit the functionality of Windows at all? You install EWF on a CF card for faster booting, right? I know the case I'm getting comes with a CF reader which is nice..
