Thread: Mini-ITX boards

updated with two new boards that NewEgg is now carrying:

iGoLogic and an AMD compatable board.

Maybe I'm an idiot, but according to what I could dig up on the intel website, the 945GT chipset (as on the AOpen i945GTt-VFA) is not compatible with the Core 2 Duo (Memrom) Processors.

The 945GM chipset (as on the Commell LV-677) fully supports the Memrom Processors.

Additionally, (FWIW) the GT is listed as a Desktop/Performance chipset, and the GM is listed as a Laptop/Embedded product.

My $0.02

I have used my Aopen i945gtt with a T5600 Merom and its fully compatible, I would not expect the gt chipset to be listed under laptop/embedded since it is a desktop mobo

Duly Noted. I was just going from intel's chipset comparison guides, trying to decide on which board to buy. Thought I'd toss it out there.

Thanks for the input.

Anyone know if the i945GT and i945GM boards support Pentium M?
I have a 740, 533 MHz FSB.

Nope but you can get a i915GMt-FSA

OK
I've been looking a bit at that board...

I already have a MB896, but the one I got from mp3car is missing FireWire and the Marvell Gigabit LAN!
Because I need the FireWire for an external soundcard I can't use this board
Tried e-mailing the store, but still haven't got any reply after 6 weeks.
