Thread: Intel D945GCLF (with integrated Atom 1.6Ghz CPU)

On the other hand via Isiah is showing some good potencial.

"Tweaktown reports from a VIA demo from Computex 2008. VIA showed Crysis running on the new VIA Nano on a Mini-ITX board.

Quote from the report: "Now that VIA has officially announced its codenamed Isaiah processor called Nano, it can begin showing off just exactly what it is capable of doing.
On Thursday during Computex VIA held a press conference with CJ Holthaus of Centaur Technology, who demonstrated the power of this small VIA EPIA SN computing platform."
Read the full report and see a vidoe of Crysis running on the VIA Nano on Tweaktown. "

Running crisis in a car pc would be overkill

it says less than 5 watt, think it depends on the amount of memory, hard drive and what kind of usb device you have on the mobo.

ps, that via is using an external videocard nvidia 8600, which has a processor of itself, kind of boosts the graphics.

Yeah i know, neverless its quitte impressive to have Crisis running in a Mini itx format.

True, but I think my 3.5" HD and the 300W PSU are making the results look much worse then they actually are. In the German review, they used it with a 3.5" HD, an ODD and an 80W DC-DC converter and achieved the following results:
IDLE (2.5" / 3.5" HD): 25 / 30 W
DVD playback: 36 W
FULL LOAD: 46 W
ACPI S3: 1.3 W
OFF: 0.6 W
These are much better than mine, especially at idle, suggesting my PSU is horribly inefficient at such a low load. Still, my PowerPC Mac mini draws almost the same and that's with a discrete GPU!) I'm still disappointed to see such a low-power CPU coupled with a power-hungry (yet compatible) chipset.

1,3 watt in S3, this offers possibilities

I got my DC945GCLF from Newegg (69.99).

I love the board but I am having problems coming out of Hibernation with my OPUS 120.
The hibernation issue isn't that big a deal but it is upsetting me.
Other than that I like the fact that doesn't take to much power and it cold boots to XP in about 12 secs. I got 2GB of ram in it, and I am using an old 40gig IDE to test it.
It doesn't do 800x480 out of the box; It will switch but the image is all messed up.
If anyone wants pictures of the 800x480 let me know

Did a super pi 1M and it was coming in at 1:33 - I can live with it.
If they make a dual core then I will be getting that.

any chances to XP, any extra installed drivers, usb device, etc ....
