This is nothing new

I've been selling the same thing since at least as far back as October. It's an Intel D945GCLF2 motherboard with an Atom 330 integrated (as in, soldered on) 1.60GHz dual-core + Hyperthreading CPU. It can run 2 threads per core, so Windows "sees" 4 CPU's in the system. It also supports x64.

The motherboard has 1 DDR2 slot and supports a maximum of 2GB. It also has 2 SATA ports on it, and 1 IDE. The case is an In-Win BM639 Mini-ITX, and supports 1 3.5" hard drive, and 1 2.5" hard drive. It also supports 1 slimline optical drive + 3.5" external device, or a single "half-height" (normal-sized, "full-height" is 2 drive bays if you remember IBM AT's) optical drive. It includes 4 external USB ports, and the case has an additional 2 in the front, as well as audio out (they should be obvious from the picture). There is no eSATA out. It is a standard Mini-ITX SFF integrated desktop motherboard. It isn't custom designed, or anything special. It does Vista Aero, but isn't Vista Premium certified because of Microsoft's changes to the WHQL requirements. Since it's a 945 chipset, it includes a GMA 950, which is the lowest end Intel GMA that supports Aero.

The HD audio and Svideo-out are useless for Windows Home Server.

I've been selling this system with a standard DVD-RW drive and a 500GB hard drive with Windows Vista Home Premium x64 and 2GB of RAM ever since the motherboards started shipping in Canada.
