I was running Aeon65 for many months on an Asrock Ion 330HT but the only way i could get it to run smoothly was to overclock my cpu from 1.6ghz to 2.0ghz, i don't know if the shuttle has the facility to overclock. you could try looking in the bios.
Or better still dump Aeon in favour of a better skin try fusion it runs much better than aeon65 and the extremely bloated MQ2

I run AeonMQ2 on my Asrock ION 330 machines and the performance is a tad sluggish due to the atom CPU, but overall I love it.
Overclock if you can, and use an SSD if possible for your OS/thumbnail drive

I don't believe I have the option to overclock, plus since there is no fan (passive cooling) overclocking would probably by a bad idea. I already have a SSD, but I think it's more of the CPU not having enough horsepower since this skin is not designed to run on an Atom.
I might give some other skins a try but Aeon is awesome, I was hoping that maybe the new version would be a little more atom friendly.

i have re used the same textures over and over instead of having multiple copys of the same textures a lot of aeon textures are not used and im sure this is what phil is doing to aeon65 2.0 i was working hard on evolution but came to a brick wall because i couldn't get the uncompressed textures it drove me nuts working around all the problems i was running into i could only see one way out and that was to re code the whole thing.
some of the larger textures that i am using have been compressed down a touch (about half the size of original ) without much noticeable changes they look great on my 1080p screen code wise it will take a long time to get it up to par with other aeon skins because it is a clusterfu#k of code to decipher also atm no genre images yet. its been crazy to try to build it as small as possible sometimes re creating some of the textures myself in photoshop but its getting there
oh yeah and for those who care it will have full pvr support thanks to Jezz X
It will be open alpha testing for everyone

This looks great, can't wait to have it running. Was going to post asking if anyone had any tips to getting the aeon skin running smooth on the atom chips.
I have the Asus AT3ION board and it's very sluggish running aeon. Is there anyone who has overclocked this board with success?
