    That sort of thing. If the all work independantly, the only thing it could be is the mobo. The RAM doesnt talk to the HD. The RAM talks to the Mobo. The HD talks to the Mobo. If they dont play nicely, it is because the Mobo is playing telephone and somewhere along the line the message is being distorted. Since it is an integrated CPU/Mobo, both could be the problem, or either/or but again since itegrated, replace them both.

    I could be completely wrong but that is how my convoluted mind works.

    i have, well sort of. i cant test the ram because nothing else i have takes pc3200... well maybe my PVR server?, but anyway, yes i did a full diag on the ram in the mobo and the HDD aswell. then the SATA wasnt recognized, so i reset it again, and still nothing so i installed windows on a old IDE 30gb. then transfered to the 300 unplugged the IDE and it worked OK... sort of.

    the thing is that as a standalone it worked like majic. but once i stared useing it as a carputer it took a ****. im about ready to give up.i bought my 13000 for 100 a few years abo and now looks like the price hasnt changed, nither has the technology, much.


    the thing is that 200 plus a processor is out of range, is there another option , i really dont need hdmi gigabit lan or anything like that
    Life Dosn't come with a reset button, if it did you might as well turn the game off.

    My first carpc was the SP13000, I found it to be sluggish and it would crash sometimes from a cold boot. I got the SP13000 stable after I switched over to hibernate avoiding the problem altogether.

    Anyhow I've used the D201GLY2A and D945GCLF and love the bang for the buck performance they offer. They both run faster than my AMD Athlon XP 2200+ notebook carpc and both are capable of monitoring my OBDI and play MP3 music simultaneously without any hesitation (unlike my AMD XP 2200+ carpc). Currently the D945GCLF runs 12% CPU load when I have Road runner + Mp3 music playing + iGuidance + Gatsohunter + OBDI datalogging software running, so it meets my demands with ease. Both boards come with processor for about $75. D945GCLF utilizes the newest intel Atom processor that only produces 4 Watts of heat.

    not my # one choice but im gonna try this for now.

    http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...3686&CatId=184

    and see how it goes, i can afford 85 bucks to diagnose... unless someone wants to lend me a mobo for a bit then i'll ship it back ;(


    seems like a downgrade from the 13000 though. sure its a bit faster, but i lose so amny fetures???? i want a fuzzy, but 300 is a bit too steep.


    not all the time but i will be running the video revording software, gps, mp3's and obdII software. thats why i need someything faster then the 1.3

    kino9452...everything built in, minimal periferals needed.

    http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/work...-part-3-a.html

    And everything listed is running off one M2-ATX

    And the T7600 is WAY overkill. But I like it.
    My opinion is my own.

    When you take into account that you don't need a video card or soundboard, it's a little more reasonable, but no, the fuzzy and the kino's are not cheap. I was going to go with the fuzzy until I got it and found it was socket P and my T7600 was socket M.
    My opinion is my own.

    There are 2 types of Fuzzy. 1 is Socket M, 1 is Socket P. Socket M ones are cheaper and older and the CPUs are also cheaper and older.

    I have a T2050 I'll let go real cheap and it should work in the Socket M one.

    And it isnt overkill when you need to use Photoshop CS2, Corel Draw X3, and AutoCAD 2007 including the 3D part on the road.

    Oh the joys of being an engineering student...

    You could always go for the gigabyte motherboard with an Intel Atom processor if you want 2 more additional USB ports.
