Science a month is the new atom D510 available for purchase. I was wondering anyone was considering to buy the new motherboard.

The Asus AT5NM10-I is available for €85, what is the same for the atom 330. The big difference is the lower TDP and the passive cooling. Tomshardware wrote a review about the new board, what can be found tomshardware.com/reviews/atom-d510-d510 ... ,2507.html.

There is still one memory channel, but the support for two banks of memory. This is not totally new, because the ION chip-set has that also.

In the review they are not very stunning about the new board, but I'm curious what you'll think of the new board. I'm still using the old Intel single core board and whit extending my Homeseer setup I'll now get a lack of processor capacity.

This weekend I ordered this:
Intel MOBO with Processor D510 mini-itx ddr2-800 atom 510 cpu (boxd510mo), has 2 serials RS232
Memory 2Gig ram DDR-2 Team Elite (one slot)
Transcend SSD 64 gbyte disk sata 2,5 inch MLS

PSU pico 120watt
See: http://www.excaliberpc.com/595060/intel ... intel.html and http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/m ... erview.htm
This PC must be : Zuinig, Stil en beetje snel .
Expected Use of this PC is roughly 30 Watts.
The D510 has a TDM of 13 Watt ( http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=43098)

Domotica server 24/7 HomeSeer Pro and Media Server (Photo, music and perhaps a little video)

I did not receive the computer up til now.

I'm curios about watt usage. Please post your experience. Ciao

With the above setup I'll think you we have something less then 30 watt. 20 watt mobo and about 0-2 watt for the hdd. Maybe some usb products. That will be actually nice

Keep in mind that most of the time when dealing with an Atom motherboard the chip-set is the big energy user, not the Atom processor.

I'm on the look out for the Zotac NM10-DTX wifi, because it has 4x SATA-300, 2x SATA-600, and 1 eSATA port, making it an excellent NAS/domotica server board.
It's not in the shops yet, although it's listed as 'available soon' on more shops every day.

Very good ! Just a question : you say "has 2 rs232" , but are these in add-on card (pci-xpress) ? i don't seem then in the picture

According to: intel.com/products/desktop/motherboards ... erview.htm:

I/O control Legacy I/O:

* Two PS/2 ports
* Two serial headers
* Parallel header

Yes, 2 RS232 ports onboard.
That's strange because it's a brandnew MoBo with old RS232-ports.
But I'm glad with the RS232-ports because of the Serial (analog) CLIP-modem an de Serial temp. measuring.
