The VIA EPIA M700

[ZerqTM]

As a VIA customer i urge via to replace there support website with a page clearly directing the user to "Go stick your head in a pig"

it would be a lot more honest then there current pretense at offering any thing more then inacurate documentation.

I agree on the pricing...

I cannot believe vendors still trying to sell

even the older boards for 2 & 3 hundred plus!

Intel killed the market for these,

and even the nano itx mobos,

with their Atom offerings.

1.6GHz dual core for 80-ish bucks?!?

No contest there, really.

For end user home use purpose, but a PC from a computer store, should be cheaper than the Intel Mini ITX Board... The VIA value is longevity support for long term OEM projects...

Nice board, although the EPIA pricing structure is a bit scary for end users.

You made yourself look a little silly though, I hope you're not one of these guys that call a whole computer "the CPU" etc.

At 2:18 - "You can add 2GHz of DDR2"

Oooops, ummm, you should have picked that one up, it destroys your presentation.

That guy is so creepy. Keep him away from your kids!

When r they going to have a new cpu. This one is so old

[phixcoco]

hi dude! I dont' think so. A 1.0GHz C7-M processor is suitable for a system like this to make it fanless! And I'm quite excited to see that this board has a VX800 chipset and has dual DVI display capability.

Hey VIA guys: You'd better be more coucious pricing it. BTW, I really love this board:)

Nice. What kind of architecture/speed comparison is the cpu to an intel or amd? Roughly the same as a p4 single core? or?

[howardhling]

Depends on what "kind" of speed you want to compare... if you are comparing video decoding speed.. the VIA will smoke the Intel P4 for sure!

god i hate the host. actually not really. he's just annoying. when he's excited.
