[QUOTE="Vasilich, post: 1110863, member: 97516"] i have MiniITX motherboard AsRock with ION330, and i can say -don't expect too much from it. 1. Don't forget - it is 5 years old, and all new features of MP require a bit more power, than ion330 can give, to feel comfortable. I recommend to activate HT, as it is really useful for that system when running MP. 2. Most disturbing fact is that atom330 doesn't support more that 3.8 GB RAM, so no RAM disk possible (even if you install 4GB RAM, you will get 3.8, then you need to define 512MB for builtin graphic card, so you will have only about 3GB RAM for all. Windows + MP + MySQL will take 2.5GB, and RAM disk with 500MB size is pretty useless) 3. builtin graphic (analog of nVidia 9400) is barely able to handle 1080i, and if you enable ghaph info (Shift+1) thwn you will get over 50% dropped frames. So - it is OK for me to live with that system i have, but I wouldn't recommend to upgrade any system to ION330 - rather ion330 need to be upgraded. [/QUOTE]
