Pentium-M In Mini-ITX Format

Posted by timothy on from the oh-be-passive dept.

Hektor_Troy writes "A German outfit is going to introduce a Pentium-M based mini-ITX board. Finally good performance in a small size. The manufacturer claims it can be cooled pasively, but I'd like to see it first." "Good performance in a small size" is relative, of course -- I like the quiet little EPIA system in front of me pretty well ;)

    That's a fine idea, I think I'll patent it. Ha, you're too late.

  5. My computer can be passively cooled too... by pVoid · · Score: 2, Funny

    All I have to do is hit that little power switch thingy, and there... it cools itself down without a sound.

    who is bored by hardware comparisons such as these? The technology could be anything, the thread always plays out something like this:

    The article says Left-handed Sprugel-Fipp MX545454-X shows very good performance next to the Loop-handed Rifkind-Muppet QX345454-D.

    Then someone says "Kewl! I bought a Sprugel-Fipp last week! I knew those Loop-handed Rifkind-Muppet models were duff!"

    Then someone says "No, you can't make a simple comparison like that without looking at how each model caches - you're comparing apples an oranges! (insert words 'insensitive clod' if necessary)"

    Then there's a brief but heartfelt flamewar culminating in the fans of Loop-handed models to say "Yeah but just you wait until the NEW Rifkind-Muppet model!"

    And finally the Sprigel-Fipp fan says "Huh. Yeah well I will (see you next time) .... "

    ad infinitum. Yawn.
