    OEM Athlon X2 BE-2400 45w Dual Core

    What am I missing here? The BE-2400 has a 1000HT bus. Don't you have to have DDR2-1000 for this processor?

    anyone using pc104 or other single board computers?

    Not yet, but I've been looking into it. It's a tough pill to swallow when you look at the price differential between a larger PC form factor and something in the PC/104 form factor with the same (or more likely less) performance and features. I sent a message off to VIA to ask if they were...
