AMD64 shuttles thoughts?

[sparky191]

What do we think of the AMD64 shuttles then?

Not bad. They have heat issues but a bios upgrade allows the "Cool & Quiet" function to work on throttling the CPU. O/C is a problem because on the Nforce 150 you cant lock the PCI/AGP. The new Nforce 250 chipset fixes this and is due in the next 4-6 weeks, expect a new A64 shuttle soon.

P.S And imo the case sucks

Mate, im afraid im going to have to disagree there! Love the case on the 64bit shuttles. The smooth front panel looks lurvly, only down side being the Optical drive can't be stealthed as effectively with a different colour face plate

I'm waiting to see what the SK83G will be like, with its VIA K8M800 chipset. However, with a newish SN45G I won't be making an upgrade soon and so i'll probably wait until PCI-Express is out and mainstream.

The AMD 64 case is cool, very nice.
Performance is OK, not especially work the price premium.
Very stable.

Well all that the SN85G4 has going for it at the moment is looks. Nothing can really be justified on performance as nothing is out to fully utilise the 64-bit system. When this comes around, im sure that it will hold up the reputation of Shuttle and be something special
