    Re: Headlines - Intel shows off Mini-ITX boards

    I wonder what chipset they use?

    It's a pity that they only seem to come with an IGP rather than a PCI-E x16 graphics card slot. It looks like room could be made if a regular chipset were to be used, and then it could well make a killer consumer rig.

    See here for a little more:
    HEXUS.net - Headline :: Intel breathes life into mini-ITX form-factor with do-it-all mainboard : Page - 1/1

    I doubt any other chipset is going to be any smaller. In fact Isn't this designed specifically for the mini-ITX market? in which case it is probably smaller than more main stream chipsets.

    IGP's not much of a major issue IMHO, perfect Shuttle replacement as long as it'll do HD playback.

    Intel's newest IGP - the GMA X4500HD - also packs in the latest iteration of ClearView, adding hardware-accelerated support for displaying HD-encoded content.
    I think just about answers it
