Hmm. I think the Socket 775 would make it a non-starter for me. Gotta have my Socket M.dougz wrote: FWIW, I read several articles about the Shuttle KPC. It appears that the samples were at CES as a technology preview and the design has not been frozen. Therefore, your guess about features is as good as any. I'm interested enough to put a google alert on the topic.
Speculation & conjecture time --
- 945G chipset. Huge improvement over 201/202 boards, IMHO.
- There was prior speculation that Intel would be doing a 945 mini-ITX. Is this product based on an Intel design? Others coming?
- Some articles speculated on which Celeron 420 was used -- mobile or socket 775. Price suggests 775. Socketed!
- Intel really seems to be doing a great job with low cost laptops & desktops. More, faster!
If it was a Socket M mini-ITX board using the i945GC chipset, that could be a real coup at $99. I'll wait until someone gets their hands on a KPC and dissects it, though.
