| Some notes, the mem port is 32bit and not 64 bit (and thus the 1.064 GB/s throughput)
Sam is short for Samantha
I thought the GPU had 64MB onboard? Not the end of the world for this type of device, but it'd be nice to know for shure what the specs are. |

| There are both, USB 2.0 and USB 1.1
The first from a Nec USB controller (2 external ports, 2 internal ports) and second one (USB 1.1) from the 440EP cpu

| It has both. USB 1.1 is provided by the 440EP and UDB 2 by the NEC chip. The question will be which ones are routed out to backplane connections.

What I read from the specs is that the processor incorporates a USB1.1 host controller and that a NEC device provides USB2.0 connectivity.
But, again, that's what I read.
Pretty good specs on paper. Hopefully the board lives up to meet them with an OS4 license-to-kill.
EDIT: Shi'! I should learn to type faster. Been beaten by five or six posters, dammit.

| Nice little powerful machine for BSD/Linux. Hopefully not too expensive. I have a 4-port USB2.0 somewhere here (storage/bluetooth/printing/camera). I can't wait to see it running jamvm or cacaojvm for AWT programming, xemacs/upp for c/c++, gnustep+etoile+windowmaker as a DE. And listen GOA trance from audio-realm. For me 16MB of onboard ram is nice a upgrade, I do the above with an ATI rage with 8MB on my Duron 700MHz. I am not quite sure but the above machine translates to an AthlonXP 2000 in terms of power. It is more than fine. I have one with 768MB that runs netbeans (java simulations) under PCBSD and !!!COMPUTER VISION!!! with openCV at my FC5. For me it is a great update. Actually even if it is a PIII in terms of power I know what to do with it .
For amiga/linux/bsd users it is enough since it has a good FPU!!! No altivec but I do not think it is an issue. The PPC assembly is fantastic. Very useful and competitive solution. Better than Intel's and AMD 's toasters and also one generation behind VIA C7.
I expect a reasonable price. |

| Nice ;)
Does it need a cpu or gpu fan? Is it noiseless? I really need a silent computer :)
EDIT: I just read in the last lines about the "lack of cooling fans" ! Excelent! So it's silent right?  Last edited by Dagon on 23-Sep-2006 at 01:47 PM.

"The board's low profile (max high 20mm) and the lack of cooling fans allow to host the board in extremely small cases."

So when will we hear about the more important stuff like license, release date and price..?
What size is miniITX, the fpga and fanless design sounds cool but if theres no license

| Perfect! Exactly the type of machine I am looking for. Mini-itx, silent, low power (plenty of power for surfing, mp3, my xvid collection, etc). My KVM switch shivers in anticipation
Now, who do I have to get liquored up to get the board with serial # 0001 on it?

| Good job guys!
I knew you would perform!
Now the price and the maximum specs available for SAM.
And the OS4 question to be answered if not done already...
Thanks
