To combat Intel's Atom-embedded ITX motherboard linueup, and the platform itself, there has been an influx of mini-ITX motherboards based on the AMD 780G chipset lately. Perhaps the thermal design of the 780G allows implementation in form-factors this small. To combat the dual-core Atom, AMD had built up plans to release low-power processors based on the AM2 socket. Notably, the Athlon X2 22W and Athlon single core 15W chips. Perhaps it is these processors that are inviting companies to plan Mini-ITX motherboards based on the AM2+ socket with the 780G chipset.

Albatron is about to release the KI780G motherboard, and they seem to have packed quite a lot to it. To begin with, the board features an AM2+ socket (that supports processors only upto 65W TDP), two DDR2 SO-DIMM slots for using the more compact memory sticks notebooks use, four SATA II ports, an IDE connector, Gigabit LAN, 7.1 channel audio with SPDIF optical and co-axial pass, display connectors that include D-Sub, DVI and HDMI (HDCP capable), and finally a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slot. The motherboard goes head-on against the feature-set that the MINIX comes with. This is meant to be a full-featured HTPC board. Its pricing is not known at the moment.

it looks the exact same as the minix except with yellow heatsinks :wtf:
 
hope they get cheep
 
i really, really want that. WIth optical out and DVI out, it suits my home theater setup nicely... and it'd be TINY.
 
I'd rather have the minix. It can take 95w cpus.

yeah but the case/cooling/PSU in a mini ITX isnt gunna handle 95W CPU's
 
i'm building one with the MINIX and a 9350e with an oc on it and H20 all built in a tiny box ill post pics of it when i get it going
 
please do CD, i want to see it.
 
albatron makes some very interesting boards.
