<div>I've worked with VIA ITX boards before. The processor on this mentioned board could be compared to a 1+Ghz Celeron (P3 Type). I haven't been impressed with these boards for serious work on a personal level. </div> <div> </div> <div>There is a small review on the website for this board... <A href="http://www.mini-itx.com/reviews/pico-itx/default.asp?page=9">http://www.mini-itx.com/reviews/pico-itx/default.asp?page=9</A>. You might want to read that. I guess Linux doesn't work on it at the moment (for those writing linux software).</div> <div> </div> <div>I do wonder what it would take to design a dedicated computer to control SDR that would plug into the Atlas backplane. Wouldn't need any sound capability for sure. It would have a TV out along with RGB, flash drive, SODIMM memory.... I could go on and on. But at the same time, it would need software written for that computer. Software that would reduce the amount of processor
overhead compared to Win-doze-based software. Not knocking your software Bill.</div> <div> </div> <div>Just putting my .02 in,</div> <div>Chris N0TTW<BR><BR><B><I>hpsdr-request@lists.hpsdr.org</I></B> wrote: </div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"><BR><BR>Message: 2<BR>Date: Sat, 11 Aug 2007 14:55:40 -0400<BR>From: <STEVEW@INTRINSIX.COM><BR>Subject: [hpsdr] Pico-ITX as possible processor for HPSDR?<BR><BR>Saw this initially on Slashdot - and the form factor seems to be SMALLER than the standard HPSDR board.
