    Server ITX Upgrade

    Hi, I have a Tranquil M One home server
    http://www.ehomeupgrade.com/2008/03/...dia-your-life/
    based on the Intel D201GLY mobo (Celeron 1.2)
    I want to upgrade the board myself to something passive but more powerful, but have no idea about current Atom / ITX combos or whether I would really see any performance improvement.
    I will be continuing to use the server for "normal" WHS tasks, plus PS3MediaServer to transcode films / tv to my Sony DLNA TV.

    Any help much appreciated. Also do I need to reinstall WHS if I change the board ? Hope not.

    Re: Server ITX Upgrade

    Could someone recommend me a good efficient CPU & Mobo combination for this please.
    Looking for a decent CPU which could manage running Win7 / WMP12 streaming in virtual PC on the home server.

    Been looking at the Intel BOXDQ45EK, or maybe the J&W MINIX 780G-SP128MB ?
    Bit out of touch now so not sure on low power performant CPUs though.

    Can anyone help ? Thanks
