Current Asus EeeBox Models with Atom CPUs - With Eee box B208
Posted by admin | Under mini motherboard Monday Mar 9, 2009In a previous article, I was recommending the Asus EeeBox B204 and B206 over the MSI WindBOX due to their better features.
Asus latest addition - the Eee Box B208 - adds one more compelling reason to go for the EeeBox family: the dual core Intel Atom 330 CPU. If still used with the 945GSE chipset, it should only maginally increase power consumption (Atom 330 Max TDP: 8W vs. Atom N270 Max TDB: 2.5W).
Here is a comparison table of the current Asus EeeBox models with Atom CPUs*:
