The spec sheet for that chip says 10 channel audio, but all specs say 8.
Not sure which to believe.
I bought it SPECIFICALLY because the word is that that chip is Intel's way of saying we believe computer audio can be great, this is our attempt at it...
but who knows. I just need it to do bit-perfect at a minumum...hopefully it will.
Im going to be getting the intel DG45ID motherboard, same as yours but in the micro-atx form factor. I hope this board is the key to finally having good on-board audio. I hate my sound blaster audigy nx. It causes me to have long boot times and no sound after stand bye. Im currently building an SQ system, but need the good sound. I hope this board works out.

It displays a nice orange Zotac screen for like 1 second, and then starts booting right away.
Amazing board for being so cheap.

^ I doubt the intel atom is even remotely comparable in speed with a 2.5Ghz core 2..
Here's a benchmark that shows the Atom 330 WAY behind a A E1200 Celeron (which itself is clearly behind a Core 2 E5200 or better):
http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,6...330_dual-core/
The atom is clearly the best choice IF you really care about power.. which I don't really care about in my car to be honest (not to mention the new 45nm Core 2 chips are fairly power-efficient as well).

As long as you are running 2-ch audio and a common front end, you are fine with an Atom. It is when you get to DVD playback and FLAC that it becomes an issue of lack of power. Especially with a skin and a bunch of USB drivers running at the same time.

^ I agree. But still, faster loading/hibernation/response times are always good. And either way, saying that the atom will "beat all other boards" is plain wrong.

How is your DG 45 FC? Boot times are really longer than AMD boards?
I'm thinking of getting a Jetway like this one:
http://www.itxdepot.com/xcart/produc...t=44019&page=1
Or this one:
http://www.itxdepot.com/xcart/produc...t=44019&page=1
I'd like to have HDCP ready, just to be on the safe side. Does the DG45FC have HDCP?
I'm really lost with the mini-itx options. I have already an Athlon X2 65w processor, so it would be nice to use it. It would only make sense to buy an intel for a mobile processor, otherwise, I'd stick with the Athlon desktop.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

EDIT: I'm guessing this is it: http://www.globalamericaninc.com/Mot...duct_info.html

Woops. Sorry about that.
It looks like a re-branded Commell. Global American does that a lot with the smaller boards.
I have dealt with them before and they have pretty good customer service. But I estimate this board at around $300 USD.
