ZOTAC Announces nForce 630i-ITX WiFi Mini-ITX Motherboard
Posted by admin | Under mini motherboard Thursday Oct 30, 2008ZOTAC has announced the nForce 630i-ITX WiFi motherboard that we mentioned last week.
This new Mini-ITX motherboard has the same features as the ZOTAC nForce 630i-ITX board with the addition of integrated 802.11b/g WiFi.
Note: we were hoping for 802.11n WiFi on this board, as there are other Mini-ITX boards - such as the Magic-Pro MP-NC81 (similar to the Jetway NC81-LF board) - which are available with 802.11n as add-on.
ZOTAC nForce 630i-ITX WiFi specifications:
- CPU: LGA775 socket for Intel Core™ 2 Duo/Quad/Extreme CPU
- Chipset: NVIDIA nForce 630i
- RAM: 2 x 240-pin DIMM, up to 4 GB of DDR2 800 RAM
- Storage: 2x SATA ports, 1 IDE port
- Expansion slot: 1x PCIe x1 slot
- Video: NVIDIA GeForce 7100 integrated graphics, 1x VGA output, 1x DVI output
- Audio: 5.1 audio
- LAN: Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps)
- WLAN: Integrated 802.11b/g WiFi
- I/O: 8x USB 2.0 ports (4 external, 4x internal via onboard connectors)

[Update: fixed the number of SATA ports from 4 to 2. Tech specs of web site indicate 4, pictures show 2]
J&W MINIX Review With Low Power AMD CPUs
Posted by admin | Under mini motherboard Wednesday Oct 15, 2008Fudzilla has reviewed the J&W MINIX 780G Mini-ITX motherboard, paired with AMD low power CPUs: AMD Athlon 2000+ CPU (TDB 8W) and Athlon X2 3400e (TDP not yet available - Fudzilla says 22W).
This is a very impressive little board. It has all the features you wish for and some more. The only negative point we could find is the small 4cm fan. It’s too loud but you need to cool the northbridge heatsink, especially when you are using on board graphics for playing some older games. At least there are some quieter aftermarket fans available which should solve that problem.
They were quite also impressed with the Athlon X2 3400e:
This CPU kicks the life out of any Atom and Nano CPU currently on offer. Of course it’s no match for Core desktop CPUs, but there aren’t any other ITX boards in the market which could do the same as the board we tested. So we think, you have no alternative if you look for a HTPC machine where you can play a game once in a while.
