Since it's an Atom 330, it fully supports 64-bit mode (an opportunity I have grasped with both hands). The board I happen to be using is an Intel DG945GCLF2 - a clone board with just 1 DIMM slot and two SATA ports. Everything I need to have supported Just Worked out of the box. The server itself is running at a very low load level: timeserver ~ 15> uptime 1:00PM up 6 days, 12:38, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 I can provide the output of most any other commands if you'd like to see anything specific. I rather suspect that the Supermicro and other server-class Atoms will still be using the Intel 945 or similar chipsets. Dave. -- David Rawling PD Consulting And Security Email: djr@pdconsec.net
