I can see the composite out, but I don't know if it has svid or not.

Lilwolf:

its a different form factor.  Not ment to compete with normal motheroboards.

its about 1/3 the size.  

My trouble is that the form factor is GREAT for fanless computers.. but this doesn't need it..

So I see this being usefull for bartops (where your worried about space) and thats about it.

the video card is overkill for most emulators (and there are other mini-ATX boards that take intel processors).


what I LOVE is the fanless options.  Where you can put it in ANYTHING and don't have to worry about fans / noise ect.  Plus the VIA 1ghz chips will probably out perform a 3ghz intel for multimedia (the 800 bean the 2.5 last I checked).  So their use for a smart DVD / tivo / mp3 player isn't going to be better...

So for pure Emulation... sure its better... but would the size be better then a normal ATX board?  And how often is it more useful?


(I still want a via 1ghz machine for a classic + MP3 player with touchscreen LCD bartop.... but I can't image getting the OK from the wife to build one)

hmmmmm.... This might be just what I need to build the ultimate in "on the road child care"

CAR-MAME

Just think.... Mame on the road.

And it can double as a MP3 player/jukebox for the car....

....... Now, I just need to come up with the money $$ !
