I have both kind: the old Atom330 Intel chipset (Little Falls from Intel)
and the Atom330 (ION chipset) from Zotac.
 From a Linux user point of view, before Ubuntu 9.10/Fedora12 I would have
suggested the second one, mainly for video performance reasons,
but with the newest Xorg the Intel 945/965 shines too.
Of course, the ION chipset is very interesting if some DSP code GPU-aware
is developed.
For all user (Lin and Win): the Zotac board has 802.11 hardware (as option) on board
and an external SATA connector.
Both are available with single voltage DC power supply.
