intel atom 330 review

[mocarflotrix]

pai fututen gura de prost tu pui vista pe intel atom

[experimental0000]

what OS and theme is that?

[pcazteca]

sucks

[decodine]

is atom suitable for linux and home studio?

[haz939]

they run much nicer on windows 7

[deadguy718]

worlds crappiest computer

[malbert87]

Wich atom processor is the most powerfull one on netbooks right now?

[imperiajor]

The Atom 330 or the Atom D510 I think (both are Dual Core ^-^)

[experimental0000]

@imperiajor yeah they're both dual core. Zotac uses the D510 and ion in their Zbox net top computers.

[lesleyhenriquez]

@imperiajor Atom 330 has a crappy 945 chipset. It is still offered in some places, but just tell them to stick it where the sun don´t shine. Get the D510-D525 instead. It has the NM10 chipset. It is produced on a smaller procede, it runs cooler and has better feautures. Needs much less power also.

[imperiajor]

@lesleyhenriquez Cool ^-^ (thanks for the tip :)

[TheEternalDragon1]

Hello, first off I just want to say great video. Second I have a question for you...I want to purchase a Netbook with a 1.6GHz Atom CPU however I do not know that much about this CPU and I was wondering is it like a Celeron or is it much faster? Basically is it fast or slow? thanks

[ditto767]

thanks for the comment the atoms in the net book are only a single core with hyper threading so they are going to run fairly slow but not to bad. my wife had a netbook and i thought it was slow coming from a core 2 duo gaming notebook. but its not bad for if you want to surf the internet and have ultimate portability...

[TheEternalDragon1]

thank you for your great response it has been very helpful. =) I decided not to go with the Netbook I got a dual core AMD athlon instead. thanks again =)

[lesleyhenriquez]

@ditto767 You forget the part about the out of order execution engine. That is what makes the difference. It´s missing from the Atom, but it also makes the die smaller and less complex and thus cheaper to produce. It also saves power and heat, but all this at the price of some speed.

[ditto767]

no problem anytime. im glade that you got somthing that will suit your needs. if you do decide to get a atom machine let me know and i can help you with it as much as i can

[TheEternalDragon1]

thanks =)

[SFseis]

Celeron CPUs are actually MUCH faster than Atoms.

Atoms struggle with HD Youtube content - the celeron definatly doesn't.

Don't get the Atom. I ran a test and it was even a lil bit slower as my 5 year old (!) Celeron 130nm 2,4GHz CPU.

[TheEternalDragon1]

thanks for the advice as well =)

[EgoJoel]

@TheEternalDragon1 Its much slower than any celeron processor actually.

[rockrl98]

@TheEternalDragon1 buy amd c-50 netbook is mouch faster. I actualy have acer aspire one aoa150 with intel atom and i can play fearcombat and i can't watch 720p youtube hd videos :(

[nicozica]

Hi buddy, i want to use this thing to stream audio 24/7 and use it as a home server. What about system temperature during summer? Will the system shut down automatically if it's overloaded? I don't want to get my house on fire hehehe. Thanks in advance, from Argentina.

[ditto767]

in a well ventalated case this will not get hot at all, i have 3 more and all of them are running a folding farm and all the cores on them are maxed out 24/7. you will enjoy this board it is alot of fun to mess with..

[nicozica]

Thanks! I forgot to say you have an awesome wallpaper on your screen ;)

I was looking for the Vitsuba Blackbox Mini ITX, have you heard of it? It's nice and besides small.

[Fabianknotschi]

its a realy good fake

[ditto767]

how is this a fake??

[BLCvideos]

is vista black edition legal?

[ditto767]

no its a modified version that you can get from torrents. i got it to try it out on this system, i do own legal copies of vista just didnt have a spare key to use on this system. i have since uninstalled it and now have osx running on it. legal as well

[Delus1on77]

U may have purchased osx but according to apples retarded EULA its illegal to run it on any non-apple branded machines. But i say, more power to u - apple need to wake up

[zloadesf]

Black edition uses a lot more ram than xp or 7

[deepblue69uk]

Thanks for the review ditto. Very helpful! Looking to build a machine based on an Atom 330 with 1GB of ram, 160GB hard drive and a DVDRW drive plus case with intergrated PSU....all for just over £150. Probably just over $180 in American dollors.

[ditto767]

yeah they are very good little boards and very flexable for terms of os's you can install. 180 us dollars aint bad at all by no means

[PilGrimmm]

where you getting the parts from? im interested in this also

[brianchris4]

lol @ windows vista black edition

[Kevern70]

Thanks for the video and review. I'm going to toy around with one of these.  I hope an extra gigabyte of RAM smooths it out a whisper more. Were you running 64 bit, by the way?

[ditto767]

na i was using 32bit version, and ya 2gigs will really help it out.

[trinsko]

I just wan to tell potential buyers... My atom 330 has a idle temp on 19-20 degrees c.. ;)

[xxDungeonzxx]

how?liquid cooling?

[trinsko]

nope, just normal air cooling, with the gigabyte motherboard.. everything is standard.. + I have 1 casefan, and a normal case.. So.. I guess its just really cool..

[igonnagetfsx]

I'm using XP on it.. And its actually quite fast! with 1 gig ram!

[wieyabuggaman]

Have you checked out the Atom 330 coupled to the Nvidia Ion yet? Asrock have a system comming out and Nvidia has a system too, some of this tech is available on Pico ITX ! I Love living in the future!

[ValpocadeVegas]

Man how did you keep that thing in the box? My chipset gets really really hot on the single core D945GCLF board.

[ditto767]

mine really dont get that hot at all when it was in the box now i have it in a case with alot of airflow and it stays really cool. i dont know what the temps are at this moment since osx dont support the on die temp monitor for it yet

[crazywin69]

does this board have a s-video so you could use it as a htpc? thanks!

[ditto767]

yeah and you can also get a compent breakout cable and use it with a hd tv as well

[crazywin69]

awsome because im building a htpc and been looking for a cheep platform so this might work nicely

[ditto767]

yeah it should

[deaglan1]

oh BTW, try running TinyVista (or any v-lite'd Vista). it will run faster than XP Home.

[deaglan1]

this board is great, with the exception of not having DVI output. i had this board running thru VGA to my 24" LCD, and it looks like total trash (super blurry like any VGA i would hook up to my screen). i have to run it on my 19" LCD just so i can pretend i dont hate VGA so much.

[RRooooooNNNN]

I have this board with 2GB DDR2. I have windows 7 running on it. It is a reallt nice board

[seanjnugent]

What is that Vista theme called, i know it is in Vista Black Edition, but I just want the theme, thanks!

[ditto767]

its just a standard theam in vista as far as i know but i think its call aero maxclear

[vangstaz]

BTW, how do you turn on Hyperthreading?

[ditto767]

you can enable and disable the hyperthreading in the bios, i dont remember where but mine came oob with HT enabled

[vangstaz]

Oh, dang-it. Thanks anyways. =D

[ditto767]

yep no problem

[rachelberning]

yeah that totally rocks! see now there's another thing you make me wann go out and buy lol

[shawnt1971]

great video bro very informative. Makes me want to go out and get one of my own.
