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

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...

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

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.

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..

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

[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.

[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.

[experimental0000]

what OS and theme is that?

[experimental0000]

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

[pcazteca]

sucks

[decodine]

is atom suitable for linux and home studio?
