Interesting that they decided to use the Sideport memory feature, I've read a few people commenting that it was a wasted feature and that motherboard manufacturers wouldn't bother implimenting that feature.

Wow $180 for a mini-ITX board
 You can buy a decent micro-ATX board for $45 and a passive 3650 for $85 on newegg, which kind of makes this board redundant at the stated price IMO |

But a micro-ATX board is larger and doesn't fit in a mini-ITX case.
So it is still valid

Re: Headlines - J&W's near-perfect HTPC mainboard is almost here
Just the one question... where the hell's the northbridge? Under that silver heatsink at the edge, or more likely is it one of those tiny chips down the far right (as you look)? If so, presumably one north, one south. :|
Smallest northbridge I think I've ever seen if so. No wonder Hexus could overclock the IGP on that Gigabyte RS780G board so much! |
