Would this motherboard work?
#1
It's me again. Someone please validate:

Zotac M880GITX-A-E mITX M880G Turion II Neo K625 1.5GHZ DDR3 WiFi PCI-E1 HDMI DVI USB3.0 Motherboard $120

Looks like a good deal, only problem I see is the integrated CPU is Radeon 4200, so for what I read still not-Linux-friendly. I guess it's safe to say that for a few bucks more a GT210 could be installed there?

Then, shoehorn it into a nice little mini-ITX case... and voilá!

yes, its not linux friendly at al,,,

and, honestly,
$1120 CAD on a MOBO+CPU thats barely stronger then the anemic ATOM D525,
and that u'll need to buy a $35 GT210 to go with it for Linux use,
i wouldnt buy it,,,
but thats me,,,

Thanks, eskro!! I had the impression that it was a much more powerful CPU (on par with the SU2300), but definitely my knowledge on the matter is not on par with yours... Blush

here's a nice place to check to have an 'idea' on how strong your CPU is
