Re: Jetway NF9C-2600 Atom N2600 Mini-ITX Motherboard
Sure but what I'd like is power consumption data (in text mode especially). My concern is that the GPU will waste power without a decent driver (or some way to disable the GPU). That's been a problem with other GPUs in the past. But maybe not with this one. As promised I tried a 11.04 x86 Ubuntu Li...

Re: Jetway NF9C-2600 Atom N2600 Mini-ITX Motherboard
From the latest drivers from Intel I have seen no issues (not that were any other than with VGA). And, yes, Win7 32bit. From other stuff I've read online (can't remember the link) all Cedar Trail are strictly 32bit. I guess this is because the onboard GPU is broken somehow in 64bit, but I have no pe...

Re: Jetway NF9C-2600 Atom N2600 Mini-ITX Motherboard
I have the Intel equivalent DN2800MT board which has a slightly faster CPU @ 1.86GHz but is still passive. Running Windows 7 x86 using a very generic 120w 12v brick I see idle draw via a kill-a-watt-clone @ ~240V AC of 10-11w. Full load draw is around 16-17w so quite a bit lower than the Jetway. Als...

Somewhere around 5 to 6 weeks. Ridiculous really considering that (I think) I was the first to 'turn Red' with 6k ppd (a pair of quads running affinity changer) - which means back-in-the-day in the region of 5 to 6 months per mill!NeilBlanchard wrote:Amazing productive work, guys!

2 * XFX 256MB 8800GT's @ 687/1718/752 (core/shader/mem) in one box. Both get around 4,850ppd but I have seen up to 5,200ppd on 'easier' WUs.
For info the 2nd 8800GT is running in an open-ended PCI-E 2.0 4x slot but achieves almost identical ppd to it's twin running in the regular PCI-E 2.0 16x slot.

Thanks.
