I've seen a PC on a credit card size board for sale. Was only 300mhz though - still not bad!

Yeah, computer this size have been out before, like the Linux computer built the size of an ethernet port, but there simply not very powerful.

If someone can help me find a computer that's "credit card size", or close to it, it doesn't matter if it's reletively slow, I'd really appreciate it. As long as I can run Linux or Win98/2000, I don't mind if it's 300-500MHz. This will not be specifially used for car use. I think I might have a business venture for something like this.

I closed down my PC last night so lost the link but I will find it again later. It didnt have any ports though and was an OEM type thing but if you want to see I will post it...I think it was an AMD 266 or 300mhz CPU.

Thanks for sharing these links SnyperBob. I'm also looking for a very small footprint of a CarPC so that I can have a GPS connected via serial to do real time tracking of my car. Still researching though..
