Cyrix

The VIA C3 is based on the Centaur Winchip family and not the Cyrix III as originally posted although for a time VIA did market the VIA C3 as the Cyrix III. VIA bought Centaur and split Cyrix with National Semiconductor. The only living Cyrix design is the AMD Geode. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.146.114.63 (talk) 07:38, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CN700

There's no mention of CN700 based boards, and their apparent brokenness [1] with regard to MPEG decoding power.

Distributors / Online-Shops removed

Is there any good reason for this? For my parts I would say I found this section very useful since I am currently in the process of buying some mini itx boards. Just can't see why it can't be there.. --Karih 17:09, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Links and sections of that sort are often removed from articles because they attract spam. — Aluvus t/c 07:52, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a site for helping you do your shopping, please use other appropriate resources (such as a Google search) for that. I have (once again, apparently) removed a large number of commercial and self-promotional links. If these are added back I will escalate the matter to administrators or the spam blacklist. There is virtually no justification for having these links on the page: see WP:EL and WP:LINKSPAM for Wikipedia's external link guidelines. Ham Pastrami (talk) 04:03, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

size

Whoops. The article defines the size, in mm, for ITX and FlexATX, but not mini-ITX. uh... If I can find this quick, I'll change it. SchmuckyTheCat

My bad, missed it in the intro. SchmuckyTheCat

Not just the GeForce...

The time seems to have come for these type of systems - we've just started getting some in at work. Impressively small, a little bigger than a Mac Mini but you could easily hide it under a bulky coat, it takes about the same volume as a mid-late 90s laptop, just a little taller and narrower.

However, it seems (with a handful of quad-cores excepted) they're just about our most powerful systems on everything except raw hard disc thruput (as they use 2.5" drives)! 2.8Ghz C2Duo's, 4Gb of 800mhz RAM, GMA4500 graphics - and a 96-watt MAXIMUM power brick which it probably doesn't get close to stressing... and under £500 from our regular supplier with a 4 year warranty. Pretty much the definition of win. Small is no longer slow and horrible. I'll have one of those to take home, thank you very much! It's better than my current laptop, AND the all-in-one workstation at my office desk!

Plus they're a lot easier to secure than most desktops despite the size - multiple lockdown points ;) 193.63.174.10 (talk) 17:39, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV?

The article reads like a tech journal and has zero citations. I'm marking it as Weasel Worded. leaflord (talk) 13:35, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

compatibility

Do the mounting holes for mini-itx boards line up with those typically availible in larger cases? that is can a mini-itx board usually be fitted in a standard ATX, micro-ATX or flex-atx case? Plugwash (talk) 11:22, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

answering my own question it seems the answer is mostly yes, the mounting holes etc do line up BUT it seems one of the holes mini-itx uses was optional in earlier versions of the ATX spec.
