    Are these 64bit chips? I can never keep up with the specs of the Atom chips, their names make zero sense to me.

    I hope they are as the next release of WHS, being based on Windows Server 2008 R2, is 64bit only.

    They sure are. All of the current-gen Atom chips (D4xx, D5xx, N4xx) support 64-bit to the best of my knowledge.

    Was the first thing I checked when I heard about Vail, had a horrible feeling that I wasn't going to be able to upgrade my Tranquil. I think it was only the very early single-core Atoms that didn't have 64 bit capability.

    Full 2008 R2 runs nicely on the 510 with 2GB RAM, it's a bit slow on the desktop when using Server Manager etc but can perform it's background server duties more than well enough, for <20 Watts.

    Re: News - Intel refreshes Atom for home storage

    Three obvious questions ....

    1) When does product hit retail?
    2) What is the net effect (for instance, of upping clock speed and going to DDR3) on both performance and power consumption, compared to previous generation?
    3) Prices?
