I'm not following, isn't Yonah = Core Duo, and Merom = Core 2 Duo?

Both boards are labelled as Core 2 Duo compatible, and WikiPedia lists Merom as a drop in replacement for Yonah, requireing at most a bios upgrade.

Can anyone spot what the functional difference is between these two boards:

I've been staring at the specs but can't see it (apart from the difference in chipset).

Woot!

Found a PCIe x1 TV/Radio card that appears to be available through retail channels: http://www.vistaview.tv/index.php?optio ... &Itemid=33

There are plenty of USB tuners though, so you should be able to have two tuners without too much trouble (or a dual-tuner card in the first place) Two? I suspect that a TV tuner connected through USB causes too much load on the CPU for my liking, and I don't want another loose box dangling off the ...

The AOpen board is almost the perfect board for me. First I thought that I wouldn't be able to get a case for it that I would like, but after a bit of Googling I found the Nexus Psile which I like a lot. Having looked at that case I'm pretty certain that with a bit of ceative DYI'ing I could suspend...

What are my options for buying or building a Mobile On DeskTop (MoDT) computer system like this: Role ---- Computer is to be placed out of sight, under a desk or similar.

Some more info for those interested in this PC: according to this article at Tom's Hardware: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/2006/08/22/amd_dual_core_laptops_have_arrived_uk/page2.html , it appears that HP didn't chose the processor speed & memory combo wisely. The s7600e has a 2000 Mhz processor with...

mini itx, am2, vga out, coax spdif out, firewire, only 10/100 lan though.. and most importantly, a PCI slot and not a pci-e 16x slot. The board is specific to this PC, the fact that it only has a standard PCI slot shouldn't matter. You wouldn't be able to use a powerful 3D graphics card in it due t...

I also seriously considered on - I wanted to build a low-power, low-noise HTPC. Couldn't find a damn spec sheet that said whether it had S-Video out or not! (or DVI) Wasn't going to order it without that info. Went to Fry's, and I *THINK* it does - the ones they had in stock (AMD & Intel) had S-Vid...

I've been eying up the old model of this PC equipped with a single core AMD Turion 64 and DDR1 memory which is currently offered by a local chain store. As documented on http://www.ursulin.net/ that model has HP firmware issues which cause the fan to be constantly on, making it less quiet than it co...

I replaced a 6 year old 2.5" Hitachi drive with a Seagate Momentus single platter 20G drive. Although the bearing noise is much reduced, the "Clikety click" noise from Seagate's head load/unload mechanism is very irritating. The 10 second load/unload cycle also causes the Seagate to be slower for th...

The PDF manual I downloaded for the Shuttle SD11G5 says that the onboard video is limited to max 1280x1024. I'm interested in using a Dell 2005FPW widescreen monitor connected via DVI with a 1680x1050 resolution on it. Anyone know if that would work with the onboard video? Alternatively, any recomme...
