I think they have a couple with the quad- compatable and x16 slot, but they're like $300 and up since they're mainly used for heavy machinery :(

They is already quite a few that way.



For me I dont' see the point, I buy mini itx stuff for the power in a small package that also uses less power than my desktop.

You starting adding in massive cards, quad cores and the like, you might as well go back to a desktop that can at least cool efficently.

It's got the onboard equivalent of what, a GeForce 7300 on it? For what it's intended for - HTPC, this board has everything. Unless you want to be playing Crysis at 30fps...

I kind of disagree. This does not have DVI (to adapt to HDMI), HDMI, s-video, component-out or SPDIF, so not as good for HTPC. Mini ITX is more for embedded systems.

It's so cute and tiny :). On the flipside I'm waiting for someone to take it, install a quad core, and put on a Goliath or TRU-120E just because they can. lol
