The VIA Pico-ITX Unboxed

[TheGeek1028]

i can run crysis nao? yey.

[dgabor8]

it was released in 2007, now in 2009 I am really waiting for a pico Itx update VIA!!!!!! :)

[ZerqTM]

tiny but damn useless!

if you wanna run a SSD sata drive on it then... FUCK YOU! (thats not me speaking thats the hardware)

and forget vista!

even XP was imposible to install!

Ubuntu works fine but you can run linux on a toaster!

Hell i challenge you to find any thing you cant run linux on!

to be fair Vista is only compatible with 9 of 10 document shreders....

but i needed the speach recognition for my project.

The vista installation CD booted perfectly fine with my picoitx motherboard, installed without a hitch and it is running off an SSD sata drive, which worked absolutely fine once the bios had been flashed.

[ZerqTM]

well it the bios is flashed inproperly your screwed!

it should work out of the box or its uther crap!

also note that i got the old version without the proper power sata power cable

[autonomous2010]

Holy shit that thing is tiny!

[djmoon2069]

When pico (& nano) itx hits 2.0GHz & up,

it will be pretty frickin' amazing!

Although it's still really cool now!

Erm...

Send me one for testing, eh?!?

hehehe

I like how that (presumably ESD warning) label was just totally disregarded...

[HLSDK]

ESD is a joke mainly

[alexk554]

Of course yeah. People who read this should definately go and find some wool, rub it against their mobo's and stuff. I do that all the time ;)

[howardhling]

ESD warnings only for "real product", not "dummy demo boards"

[spillz09]

thats awesome

[adamthegreat07]

that thing is sexy...sooo small....
